Trumbo serves as an honorable and well-acted tribute to a brilliant writer's principled stand, even if it doesn't quite achieve the greatness of its subject's own classic screenplays.

The film is a labour of love for Bryan Cranston, as Trumbo. As Hollywood's greatest screenwriter, embattled but not beaten, he embodies the old Hemingway definition of courage: "grace under pressure". February 18, 2016 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

One day, perhaps, an HBO mini-series will tackle this cultural face-off and blow our minds. In the meantime, check out Trumbo. February 7, 2016 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

The film itself is very uneven. Any texture, depth and pathos here resides in the central performance. February 4, 2016 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Cranston is good, very good, here, but let down by a meandering drama that lacks cojones. February 4, 2016 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Cranston is superb. The Breaking Bad actor, in best form, is an attack dog: he goes at lines like a mutt at a mutton bone. February 4, 2016 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Construction flaws aside, the film manages to be both breezy and scathing precisely when it needs to be. This is due to a delightfully evocative production design as well as some exceptional performances. April 7, 2020 | Full Review…

Overall, Trumbo benefits from the character-driven performance of Cranston, but the script and direction doesn't match in terms of quality. November 19, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…
