What Billy Ray's confident debut lacks in situational dramatics...it more than makes up for in the central performance of young Hayden Christensen...

Being a film about fibs, it is desperate not to tell any. Big mistake.

| Dec 14, 2017

Ray propels the lamentable tale along at a brisk clip, is clear in his storytelling and mercifully avoids moralizing or self-congratulation.

| Apr 27, 2011

Journalistic scandal story best for older teens.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 28, 2010

Writer-director Ray has a no-fuss style that is quietly, thoroughly gripping.

| Nov 1, 2007

[An] adept, often incisively funny recounting of the Glass debacle...

| Feb 9, 2006

Ray stages the film not as a mystery but as a case study in all-consuming denial and professional and psychological self-destruction.

| Original Score: B | May 4, 2005

As the net begins to close, you may find it impossible to suppress your delight at Glass's loss of composure. Why? Perhaps because you won't recall being quite so irritated by anyone, in any movie, ever.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 7, 2005

By sticking doggedly to the facts, Ray ensures that the true story behind this true story can be debated long after the credits roll.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 14, 2004

Lacks the journalistic killer instinct that could have elevated it above the well-executed but slightly sanctimonious, made-for-온라인카지노추천 feel

| May 13, 2004

Glass's pattern of deceit is queasily persuasive; adding Catch Me If You Can psychologizing would only diminish the film's truthfulness, not enhance it.

| Original Score: A- | Mar 22, 2004

Does a superb job in presenting four of the five journalistic 'Ws' of its story: the who, what, where and when. It fails, however, on the essential 'why' of the tale.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 28, 2003

What are we to learn from this? Not the broad lesson that every line of work has its share of charlatans: The script is way too pious to swallow such a generic pill. And not anything important about Glass, since there's no real character examination.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 28, 2003

Shattered Glass provides a fascinating look behind the scenes at The New Republic ... Yet, viewers may also recoil from the movie's reverential and elitist treatment of The New Republic and other news operations.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Nov 23, 2003

Shattered Glass speaks simultaneously to our humanity and sense of moral outrage.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 20, 2003

At its best, cinema can shine a light on the human condition, from fallacy to heroism and everything in-between, like no other medium.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 15, 2003

As directed by Billy Ray, the film has an exceptionally tight focus and a fascinating story to tell.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Nov 14, 2003

Smart about good vs. evil.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 14, 2003

A good movie about a real-life problem journalist that unfortunately has almost nothing to do with journalism's real-life problems.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 14, 2003

Not only an honest depiction of one journalist's rampant dishonesty but a compelling movie by just about any standard.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 14, 2003
