Review For J. Edgar
A lumbering miscalculation...Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service
Somehow J. Edgar manages to be both epic and empty.
Tom Long-Detroit News
Usually the tautest of directors, Clint Eastwood has gone all slack here, allowing his subject to get completely away from him.
Rick Groen-Globe and Mail
Although Hoover's luster faded as his career went on, Eastwood's movie seems wan from the start.
Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger
Here's that J. Edgar Hoover biopic you asked for, or at least something that meets all the technical requirements to be considered one.
Eric D. Snider-Film.com
Mr. Eastwood's ponderous direction, a clumsy script by Dustin Lance Black and ghastly slatherings of old-age makeup all conspire to put the story at an emotional and historical distance. It's a partially animated waxworks.
Joe Morgenstern-Wall Street Journal
While it's often sluggish as the narrative ping-pongs back and forth through the years in low-key, de-saturated fashion, Hoover makes for such a fascinating subject matter that Eastwood's bio-drama can't help but prove compelling in sporadic bursts.
Stephen Carty-Flix Capacitor
Regardless of how you may feel about the film's vision of Hoover's private life, you have to respect J. Edgar for the conviction of its depiction. Very much like the resolve of the despotic man it so vividly portrays.
Erick Weber-NECN
J. Edgar provides an intriguing look at one of America's icons but Eastwood fails to deliver a cohesive narrative or enough compelling insight into his subject.
Ben Kendrick-ScreenRant
The consistently negative study of Hoover, along with pell-mell story telling and a melodramatic and silly gay romance, make J. Edgar a disappointing film.
Amy Curtis-We Got This Covered
Self-serving, self-indulgent and about as dramatically effective as a school play.
Felix Vasquez Jr.-Cinema Crazed
Hoover's magnetism derives from his intellect, certainty, power, and sense for myth-making, and DiCaprio bears that out with a performance of a man who himself may be constantly performing as though he has nothing to hide.
Mark Pfeiffer-Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema
Despite the odd sharp observation, somehow J. Edgar comes off like the Max Fischer Players' production of Serpico... [Blu-ray]
Peter Canavese-Groucho Reviews
A failure, but an interesting failure when you step back and contemplate the project as a whole. Not really anybody's idea of a good time at the cinema that, though, is it?
Catherine Bray-Film4
Needless to say, as J Edgar ages, DiCaprio flounders. It is simply preposterous for him to play a 77-year-old man! All the elderly prosthetic make-up in the world cannot disguise his adolescent cheekbones from beaming through.
Brian Henry Martin-UTV
A decent take on one of America's most prolific political figures and people with an interest in American history will get a lot out of it
Cameron Williams-The Popcorn Junkie
Eastwood's latest underappreciated masterpiece makes a stunning debut on Blu-ray with a lack of extras that arguably purposefully bucks any sense of context.
Chris Cabin-Slant Magazine
DiCaprio keeps the film afloat, but J. Edgar lacks any real controversy and never fully reaches deep within the man's dark psyche.
R. L. Shaffer-IGN DVD
An out-of-the-closet biopic knocking another controversial icon off his pedestal.
Kam Williams-NewsBlaze
The movie bears all the earmarks of a great film without ever rising to the occasion of greatness; instead, it is almost forgettable an hour after seeing it. (Blu-ray edition)
John J. Puccio-Movie Metropolis
Hoover may have been the sweetest, kindest, gentlest man in the world, or he may have been a ruthless bastard; we wouldn't know from Eastwood's cautious portrayal of him.
John J. Puccio-Movie Metropolis
