Review of News of the World (2020) by K. Austin Collins for Rolling Stone — 30 Dec 2020

But more often the movie sticks to the contemplative: a moody character study with dashes of hillside danger and inner turmoil and post-war social conflict and all the rest — the allspice seasoning of the adult western genre.
