    Some of the fictionalized elements seem unnecessarily lurid which sort of undercuts some of the point being made. Still the movie's perspective, about how narratives are constructed regardless of the facts, is an important one.

    It's perhaps not Eastwood's best movie, but it's right up there with Gran Torino for my favorite. Paul Walter Hauser is, perhaps, one of the most underrated actors at the moment (Give Black Bird a chance, it's on Apple TV). Sam Rockwell is magnificent, as always, we need more movies with him. And Kathy Bates is just superb. Give it a try if you like movies with charistmatic actors and underdog characters. You might love it if you dislike news outlets as much as I do. If you don't, you'll probably still enjoy it.

    Good overall story that keeps you guessing what will happen next, but slow going in the build-up. Great cast for this real life story that reveals the truths of what happened that day in Atlanta's park

    Just rewatched and realized I hadn't rated this film. I great Eastwood production Bates - Hauser combo is amazing... real acting is still appreciated. Emotion and reality comes through. A little heavy and brutal portrayal of FBI tactics but not when you consider the lives upset for so long and the fact the real Jewell died at 44, no doubt a contributing factor. One of the best movies that year no doubt.
