The depiction of the hard, gritty work of journalism is believable, but it doesn't make for especially engaging drama.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 3, 2024

It's very crisp and effective... You obviously know where it's going, but it's effective for what it does.

Scoop, which declares it a job-well-done simply to see a man stripped of honorary titles without ever having to defend himself in a criminal court, fails to make the argument for why any of this mattered beyond making good 온라인카지노추천.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 8, 2024

Scoop is agnostic about what Andrew did, but it sure makes him look as pathetic as hell.

| Apr 8, 2024

Perceptive on the dynamics of a newsroom under duress, with Billie Piper terrific as Sam McAlister, the straight-talking producer who managed to land the interview to end all royal interviews.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 7, 2024

Even as a modest letdown Scoop is nevertheless worth watching for that climactic sequence, as well as what it has to say about the current state of media as the circle-the-wagons mentality surrounding the Royals.

| Apr 5, 2024

Behind-the-scenes dramas have their allure, but in this case, beyond the top-notch performances, it's hard to see the point. If you need reminding of Prince Andrew's onscreen downfall, go and watch the real thing.

| Apr 5, 2024

There's a propulsive force to every scene in "Scoop."

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 5, 2024

The director, Philip Martin, plays everything right to the cusp – where you clamp hand to mouth, aghast at remembering that this trainwreck actually happened, and irresistibly compelled to relive it.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Apr 5, 2024

There was a lot to enjoy in this broad cosplay of British media, for all its flaws.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 4, 2024

Smartly observed by director Philip Martin (The Crown), Scoop is a tick-tock narrative where the outcome is known.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 4, 2024

This Netflix movie successfully turns Prince Andrew's disastrous 2019 BBC interview into a thriller—even though we already know the outcome.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Apr 4, 2024

There’s nowhere near enough story to justify a movie-length depiction.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 4, 2024

The movie succeeds in showing viewers that, even in this age of clickbait and quick hits, the slow and steady professionalism of real journalists attempting the Quixotic quest of practicing real journalism can still bring down a giant.

| Apr 4, 2024

The way to watch Scoop is from behind your fingers.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 4, 2024

The film is too close to -- and too impressed by -- the simple fact of what just happened to see under the surface, or even bother to look that hard.

| Original Score: C | Apr 4, 2024

Sewell doesn’t so much imitate Andrew but embody him -- who knew Sewell had that in his arsenal?

| Apr 4, 2024

Scoop is not quite the prince that was promised. But there are some gripping moments, and some extraordinary performances — especially from Sewell and Piper.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 4, 2024

Here is a laboriously acted and distinctly self-admiring, self-mythologising drama about the media, the royals and the media royals.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 4, 2024

Between the lines, “Scoop” conveys, not only what Andrew most likely did, but what led him to assume that he’d get away with it.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 4, 2024
