Review of LBJ (2017)

By Roger Moore (6,008) for Movie Nation (3,875) on 01 Nov 2017

Review of LBJ (2017)

By Vincent Mancini (369) for FilmDrunk (362) on 31 Oct 2017

Harrelson shines in an incomplete biopic that would've been better as a miniseries, and, typical of Boomer filmmakers, is far too reverent…

Review of LBJ (2017)

By Pete Hammond (936) for Deadline Hollywood Daily (332) on 31 Oct 2017

[Woody] Harrelson, from a different part of Texas than Johnson, just nails this role, even if the makeup job is a bit jarring at first…

Review of LBJ (2017)

By Tim Grierson (1,482) for Screen International (2,241) on 21 Oct 2017

In a similar vein to Lincoln, LBJ is as much a portrait of a president as it is a tutorial in how the business of government works…

Review of LBJ (2017)

By Kyle Smith (1,916) for National Review (314) on 18 Oct 2017

Harrelson gets close to the essence of this dynamic, irascible, essential figure, making the film a fine introduction to a president far more…

Review of LBJ (2017)

By David Sexton (322) for London Evening Standard (2,015) on 21 Sep 2016

What makes this a film worth paying for is the spectacularly good performance by fellow Texan Woody Harrelson as LBJ, a role he was born for…

Review of LBJ (2017)

By Chris Bumbray (988) for JoBlo's Movie Emporium (1,959) on 18 Sep 2016

Old-fashioned and archaic next to other movies about the same era, like JACKIE & ALL THE WAY…

Review of LBJ (2017)

By Stephen Mayne (41) for PopMatters (2,617) on 15 Sep 2016

LBJ is frequently funny, and although it fades fast at the end and proves almost stiflingly conventional... it's still a solid watch…

Review of LBJ (2017)

By Jordan Ruimy (242) for The Film Stage (3,162) on 15 Sep 2016

[Reiner] has a central performance to back him up, but fails to register many of the most compelling aspects of President Johnson's history…

Review of LBJ (2017)

By Phil Brown (24) for Collider (1,032) on 15 Sep 2016

So LBJ is very much a flawed movie, in the ways that almost all important man biopics tend to be…

Review of LBJ (2017)

By Benjamin Lee (469) for Guardian (4,584) on 14 Sep 2016
