| Original Score: B | Feb 7, 2025

| Original Score: C+ | Sep 7, 2011

It's a sharp, brave movie, a little ragged around the edges, but that's to its advantage.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 12, 2002

What gives Bulworth its unique character is that all this silliness is periodically punctuated by cogent, carefully thought-out mini-manifestos...

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jan 1, 2000

As writer, director and star, Beatty flails all over the screen, but he's also made the only recent political satire that draws blood.

| Jan 1, 2000

Bulworth works, with both urbanity and chutzpah, by viewing political puppeteering with an all-purpose jaundiced eye.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 1, 2000

[A] political satire that's as fresh and exhilarating as anything we've seen come out of Hollywood in quite some time...

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 1, 2000

Bulworth plays like a cry of frustrated comic rage. It's about an archetypal character who increasingly seems to stand for our national mood: the guy who's fed up and isn't going to take it anymore.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jan 1, 2000

A shrewd political observer for decades, Beatty has fashioned a hilarious morality tale that delivers a surprisingly potent, angry message beneath the laughs.
