Review of LBJ (2017)

By Susan Wloszczyna (541) for Washington Post (9,851) on 02 Nov 2017

Review of LBJ (2017)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 02 Nov 2017

It’s almost sadistic to cast Jenkins, the actor who most resembles Johnson, in a supporting role in LBJ…

Review of LBJ (2017)

By Steve Davis (486) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 02 Nov 2017

No wonder the movie feels something like a retread: It gets you there, but the ride is neither nowhere as smooth, nor nearly as compelling…

Review of LBJ (2017)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 02 Nov 2017

By Bob Bloom (1,124) for Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) (1,017) on 01 Nov 2017

Review of LBJ (2017)

By M. Faust (314) for The Public (Buffalo) (288) on 01 Nov 2017
