It starts out with great promise then bursts to life with great energy and style only to end with more questions than answers.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 10, 2020

A handsome picture. The performances are uniformly fine (particularly Affleck's).

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 31, 2020

Hollywoodland doesn't have that extra oomph to make it a special film, but it is solidly crafted and acted.

| Nov 20, 2019

Intriguing, interesting, Hollywoodland is the stuff that dreams, and nightmares, are made of.

| Nov 13, 2019

Instead of shooting for the stars, it settles merely for the middle.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 6, 2019

| Original Score: 9/10 | Feb 9, 2011

Outside of the novelty of seeing Ben Affleck assaying a dramatic role, there isn't much in Hollywoodland to keep us hooked.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 16, 2010

Starts with artful delusions before dribbling into nothingness

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 7, 2008

Like Ben from Bennifer, George Reeves aspired to be a Great Actor, but was weighed down by audience expectations. Affleck does a terrific job with this role.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Dec 10, 2007

Strong ensemble performances, tight direction, and a stand out from Affleck make this an excellent revisiting of an old Hollywood case...

| Original Score: C+ | Apr 25, 2007

May not have all the answers about the death of one of the icons behind the big red 'S,' but by gathering one of the better ensembles of the year, it makes the legend interesting again.

Tentando evocar a mesma atmosfera sufocante de Los Angeles %u2013 Cidade Proibida, surge como plida (literalmente) imitao do excepcional trabalho de Curtis Hanson.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 11, 2007

From a character point of view, Adrien Brodey's emotional journey as a broken down investigator and a broken down father from a broken marriage, is the film's incomplete centrepiece, Ben Affleck's superb portrayal of George Reeves notwithstanding.

| Mar 10, 2007

Un atractivo y bien logrado ejemplo de cine negro donde se mezclan glamour y misterio, con estupendo elenco y excelente recreacin de poca y atmsfera.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 4, 2007

Tells this tale with energy and panache.

| Mar 1, 2007

Middle-aged angst - and not the mystery of Reeves' unsolved death - lies at the heart of Hollywoodland.
