All the President's Men: Critic Reviews

A spellbinding detective story.

It provides the most observant study of working journalists we're ever likely to see in a feature film.

Hal Holbrook is outstanding; this actor, herein in near-total shadow, is as compelling as he is in virtually every role played.

Superb Woodward and Bernstein Watergate story.

It really couldn't be better made in any respect. The cinematography, sound, editing, acting - all of them are effectively flawless.

A triumph of serious Hollywood filmmaking.

Features a host of fine character portrayals and a compelling climax that compensates for its length.

Alem de contribuir como registro historico e reflexao sobre a midia e a etica, e, tambem, um magnifico exemplar do melhor do Cinema.

Alan Pakula's chronicle of the Washington Post Vs. the Watergate scandal is not only a poignant statement about the role of the press in the 1970s, but one of the most successful political movies in American history, both artistically and commercially.

Remarkably intelligent, working both as an effective thriller (even though we know the outcome of their investigations) and as a virtually abstract charting of the dark corridors of corruption and power.

...not only a thoroughly gripping, real-life political thriller, it's darned good filmmaking, too.

A classic. More important now than it was 20 years ago.

A classic and factual American detective tale in need of remake now that Deep Throat is known. Maybe Adam Sandler could star?

A terrific entertainment

Still the best movie ever made about journalism

gripping and important

Classic collaboration of Dustin Hoffman, Robert Redford, and Richard Nixon, in the most scandalous political tale of our time.

An all-around extraordinary film.
