[An] engrossing nonfiction feature, but they won't exactly uplift your faith in 21st-century humanity.

The men and women of The National Enquirer knew how to get the stories their readers wanted. Scandalous is a rousing account of the years they did it better than anybody in the business.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 29, 2020

Great telly.

As someone noted, the Enquirer had been out-enquired.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 29, 2020

Terrific use of archive, a dream cast of talking heads, and a solid, clear narrative made Scandalous this week's must see documentary.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 29, 2020

Detailed and bitterly funny.

| May 26, 2020

A fascinating trip into the American psyche.

Thanks to director Mark Landsman's wildly entertaining new documentary ... everyone can now learn the history of this once popular rag.

Maybe this surface-level documentary about the checkered history of the National Enquirer captures the spirit of its subject, but that's not necessarily a good thing if you're looking for genuine insight.

[T]he movie's final condemnation of the paper feels hollow -- both in terms of sentiment and actual investigation.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 22, 2019

...[a] rousing and chippy documentary. Scandalous: The Untold Story of the National Enquirer is inspired in its zany madness dedicated to appetizing trashy tidbits that adorn its preposterous pages.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 20, 2019

As Scandalous suggests in its fascinating dirty-laundry expos茅 of the once-powerful nameplate, the Enquirer has hardly been missed - except perhaps when it comes to details of the crimes of Tori Spelling.

So much of Scandalous is dedicated to the National Enquirer staff's self-serving justifications of their sleazy behavior

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 19, 2019

I was appalled by a lot of the material in this [film] and thought "If these are journalists, then I want a different title for my job"... This is such a sleazy thing [the filmmakers] are uncovering.

| Nov 19, 2019

A rip-roaring biography.

Scandalous is kinda fun until it becomes a reminder of why we can't have nice things.

| Nov 18, 2019

The Enquirer, Trump? It's impossible to separate the two. They are symbiotic, attached at the hip, as Landsman sets out to prove. And his evidence is pretty convincing.

| Original Score: B+ | Nov 17, 2019

If anyone out there thinks the National Enquirer is harmless entertainment, "Scandalous" gives no shortage of alarming reasons to reconsider.

| Nov 17, 2019

Juicy and sobering.

| Nov 15, 2019

As pop culture narratives go, "Scandalous" wants to be as colorful and fun as a flip through of the rag itself at the supermarket. But in these truth-challenged times, the jovial tone of "Scandalous" all too often outweighs the judgmental.
