While the film contains elements that prove sleazy, at times incredibly funny, but also carry an unquestionable sadness, Morris' camera remains trained on his interview subjects, and he does not judge.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Apr 4, 2022

Lays out one of the most bizarre, compelling and jaw-dropping true crime stories you will ever run into.

| Mar 22, 2021

In the age of Newscorp scandal and sensationalized murder trials, Joyce McKinney story seems fun and innocent. Morris is on top of his game and has never been any more entertaining than this.

| Mar 21, 2021

Another classic from director Errol Morris.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 3, 2020

It's a well-told story without any consequence or larger meaning, and it's the first round of applause I've witnessed at press screenings this year.

Full Review | Jan 30, 2018

Tabloid is totally fascinating. It features brilliant editing and pacing along with well thought out concepts that are expertly executed. A must see!

| Original Score: 10/10 | Nov 11, 2013

Operates as both an examination of the dominating media mentality at the time and an embodiment of it, no less keen on delving into the juicy details now as tabloid rags were then.

| Nov 18, 2011

Morris gets to have his cake and eat it.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 13, 2011

It's a bizarre "where are they now?" story of a rather unedifying kind, and one feels ashamed of laughing at this sad exhibitionist.

| Nov 13, 2011

Morris suggests that you can sometimes find profundity in triviality - and though Joyce condemns herself out of her own mouth, it is always possible to feel sorry for a woman whose obsession has so totally ruled her life.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 11, 2011

A vivid picture of the way we lived then.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 10, 2011

McKinney is no Robert McNamara, but there are lessons to be learned from this fog of sleaze.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 10, 2011

Morris's doc is less about What Really Happened than exploring the lifespan of one of those stories that kept on giving.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 10, 2011

[Morris] tells us nothing about the prurience and gutter morality of the tabloid newspaper industry that Britons haven't heard every day and that the world, in the Murdochgate era, is now hearing likewise.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 10, 2011

Compelling, weird and queasy documentary on the eccentric Joyce McKinney and her stranger-than-fiction story.

| Original Score: B- | Nov 10, 2011

A truly bizarre tale, Tabloid is enjoyable but not as compelling as some of Morris' previous documentaries...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 9, 2011

This is a lighter, less significant work than his 'Standard Operating Procedure' or 'The Fog of War', but it's engrossing and pleasingly slippery with the facts.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 8, 2011

A bizarre coda turns what begins as a playful expos of the British media's sensationalist excesses into a surreal voyage into a warped mind no reporter could invent.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 8, 2011
