Better than expected. Hill and Franco put on strong performances, highlighting both the thriller elements as well as some harsh critiques on journalism. The film is deliberately slow, which gives the story the proper weight and drives up the tension between the protagonists. It's not a spectacular film, but it's one of the better films in its genre.

Judy Garland's fall & fall story. Garland's tale is a dramatic one, then again so is every biopic about the rich and famous. Zellweger does a good job but can't escape her own persona, the drama is more than a little overbearing and the limited focus makes it difficult to get a solid impression of Garland's off-stage self. A missed opportunity.
