Review of Good Night, and Good Luck. (2005) by Steven C — 06 Apr 2012
"Good Night, and Good Luck." is a docudrama, a historical document and a thriller. It's shot in glorious black and white but it's the small directorial flourishes (George Clooney is a tour de force director) and lens work (the great Robert Elswit is DP) that make the film visceral and immediate.
The themes of government, censorship, media and character assassination are all still extremely relevant today, making the film, which is set in the 1950s, feel as modern as anything currently at the cinema.
The acting is top notch with David Strathairn, obviously, standing out. This is a unique, enthralling, miracle of a movie.
