Review of J. Edgar (2011) by Paul M — 06 Aug 2013

I am shocked to find how disliked this film was. I felt it was an intelligent, fascinating biopic about one of the most controversial political figures. I was stunned by the story of J. Edgar Hoover. I learned about this certain individual.

I found myself invested in Hoovers struggle as the director of the FBI, as a closeted homosexual, as an unsympathetic man. this was one of the best films of the year. and its definitely under the top 5.
