“All Dalton Trumbo ever wanted was his name on an Academy Award, and the same goes for the people who’ve been entrusted with telling his life story,” begins Adam Nayman, writing for Cinema Scope. “This is not to impugn Bryan Cranston or the other crackerjack actors cast as (in)famous faces from Hollywood’s past—chances are that Otto Preminger would have signed off on Christian Berkel’s campily imperious impersonation, which suggests that the director was actually Mr. Freeze in real life. But John McNamara’s pandering hand job of a screenplay uses the broadest strokes possible to dramatize the blacklist era, in essence undermining Trumbo’s own (directly quoted) contention that there ‘were no heroes or villains’—at which point director Jay Roach cuts to a demonically goateed Edward G. Robinson (Michael Stuhlbarg) sitting forlornly in the audience of a gala tribute to the Great Man.”

“If there’s one subject that Hollywood finds infinitely fascinating, it’s Hollywood,” writes Henry Barnes in the Guardian. “In the past five years, three of the best picture Oscars have gone to films about how the industry sees itself: as a place of heroism (Argo), integrity (Birdman) and nostalgia (The Artist). Rarely do two of these qualities have much bearing on what movies get made. But Trumbo… is a rare thing: a film that calls Hollywood on its crap, while ladling on a little bit more in the form of misty-eyed romanticism.”

Noting that Trumbo “stood up to Congress, went to jail, and then went on to write films like Roman Holiday, Spartacus and Lonely Are the Brave,” the Hollywood Reporter‘s Jordan Mintzer finds that this “this rather hastily made period piece is boosted by a few welcome stabs at humor, most notably from sidemen Louis C.K. and John Goodman, playing two industry members who saw Trumbo through the worst years of the Red Scare. Otherwise, the film can be far from subtle at times and tends to wear its righteous politics on its sleeve, making it more of an elevated TV dramedy than a work on par with Trumbo’s best efforts. But how many movies today are?”
