At the risk of burying the lead, anyone who cares about journalism -- then and now -- won't have any regrets about watching "The Newspaperman" either. Dec 1, 2017 | Full Review…

What's not so expected, what comes as something bordering on shock, of a gratifying kind, is how much else the film takes on in this buoyant and mercilessly frank look at Bradlee's life and career. Dec 1, 2017 | Full Review…

Fortunately, though they may not be titanic, there are real journalists still fighting the good fight in the business, in TV, social and digital media, and in newspapers. All of them to one extent or another embody the legacy of Ben Bradlee. Nov 27, 2017 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

If anything, The Newspaperman is a reminder that we all might benefit from boasting the same determination to expose lies that Bradlee did. Dec 19, 2017 | Full Review…

For a documentary that mostly reflects on events of decades past, The Newspaperman feels remarkably timely when it recounts the Post's battles with the Nixon administration. Dec 7, 2017 | Full Review…

...fascinating but zero warts homage to Bradlee...would have been more admirable had it dealt in detail with the moral chiaroscuros that were apparent in the man instead of basically ignoring them to produce a simplistic paean to a complex man. Dec 6, 2017 | Rating: 9/10 | Full Review…
