Starring: George Clooney, Robert Downey Jr, David Strathairn. Directed by
George Clooney
In the Fifties, journalist Edward R. Murrow (Strathairn) tried to unseat Senator Joseph McCarthy and halt his communist witch-hunt through his TV programme, See it Now. Here, director George Clooney retells the story in elegant period style, producing a film that is exhilarating, thrilling and hums with integrity. Clooney could have had his pick of Hollywood’s plum roles, but instead he goes against the grain by delivering passionate, political cinema. *****
