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

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

Review of LBJ (2017)

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

The height and the way he used it should have been addressed. The film, like the player cast as its lead, is too short to do the subject justice…
