It's a modest but powerful affair, and a fantastic mood piece.
Dave Calhoun, Time Out

... it telescopes -- with no loss of accuracy -- Murrow's last few fifties hurrahs as the hardest diamond in Bill Paley's 'Tiffany network.'
Ken Tucker, New York Magazine/Vulture
Fresh
Rarely moving a facial muscle except to exhale smoke and brimstone, Strathairn wonderfully recaptures Murrow's deadpan delivery style.
Bruce Newman, San Jose Mercury News
Rotten
It's an interesting way to represent the past, though the use of space, actors, and archival footage seems more theatrical than cinematic.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
