Good Night, and Good Luck is well made and well acted. The cast is excellent. The problem is, I just didn't care and was bored by the subject matter. It's much better than my rating if the story interests you. If no you'll likely be bored like I was.

Part of The December Project

I haven't seen this since its cinema release and I have to say, it holds up just as well as I remember.

Clooney does an excellent job and the style is simple and beautiful.

As I don't know much about the McCarthy era and had never heard of Edward Murrow prior to seeing this, the story was particularly engaging.

The cast is filled with excellent actors all doing extremely good work and Strathairn in particularly gives a very subtle, involving performance.

This is a film that I would highly recommend.

Good Night and Good Luck was a fantastic movie, one which I can say with full honesty that I loved. As your regular Mad Men fanatic, I absolutely adored the production design and cinematography that managed to capture the era so perfectly. This is all a testament to the direction of George Clooney, who manages to do all this as well as an incredibly understated performance as Fred Friendly. David Strathairn’s central performance in this film is pretty incredible, not one that I would say is the most subtle, but still has that level of reservation that makes every time he appears on screen a delight. A short film – yet one that has so much to offer in its impeccable recreation of this piece of American history which is just as relevant today as it was then.

There ain't no black or white in this black and white film.

And there is some red on the cover. I like colors. Damn. I wanted to write a review! I really liked it. Happy now?

David Strathairn está inmenso, transmitiendo integridad y dignidad sin casi mover un músculo. Es la película que confirmó que George Clooney sabe lo que se hace.

I have a very extensive story behind this movie. If you would like to hear it message me and I will be glad to share it with you.

This movie is so powerful. I can't even articulate my thoughts to express the majesty of this film.

A breath taking film that leaves you wanting more.

The story of Edward R. Murrow (David Strathairn) and his battle against Joseph McCarthy, Good Night and Good Luck throws us into a world torn apart by fear and suspicion, where most people are willing to abandon their principles to ensure their careers. At its center are Murrow and his producer Fred Friendly (George Clooney) who refuse to cease their exploration of the truth and their stand behind their principles, even in the face of a political machine that is willing to tear them apart. With stellar supporting turns from Robert Downey Jr., Patricia Clarkson, Jeff Daniels, and Ray Wise, the film examines one man’s bravery and thestrength of character it takes to stand by your beliefs no matter what it costs you.

There ain't no black or white in this black and white film.

A terrific chapter of American history under the direction of George Clooney. Great ensemble.

To be honest, I did not watch this movie by choice but in a class. I did enjoy it more than I expected though. The movie starts off strong, then gets a bit dragged down, picks itself back up then ends abruptly. This definitely decreased some points for me. There were also a few subplots that could have either been fleshed out some more or just cut out all together.
The real draw of the movie from start to finish is David Straithairn's portrayal of Edward R. Murrow. He absolutely steals the show.
Clooney as director used the black and white really well and did a good job capturing the time period. You may get lung cancer just by watching the movie with all the cigarettes being smoked constantly.
