Review of Shattered Glass (2014) by Daniel C — 25 May 2013
Enthralling, Original, Astounding. Shattered Glass tells the true story of The New Republic Journalist Stephen Glass (Hayden Christensen) who's not to be as good as he seems. Stephen's Stories all have flaws in them and some are just completely made up.
When his Editor Chuck Lane(Astoundingly portrayed by Peter Sarsgaard) gets wind of Stephen's cooked stories he goes head to head in a battle to figure out what is fact and what is fiction. This film is independent filmaking at its best and Peter Sarsgaard gives a masterful performance that should have gotten him an Oscar nomination, his performance deserves to go down in history as one of those great supporting actor performances.
This film really goes into the deep depths of Journalism and list Stephen Glass as one of the don'ts of Journalism. **** out of ****.
