Critics' reviews

"A compelling story told with Morris's usually flair. Still, hard not to think of it as a disappointment by the director's exalted standards and a missed opportunity to explore society's dysfunctional relationship with its media. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"

Patrick Peters: Empire
