Review of The Paper (1994) by Carlos S — 22 Feb 2018
Even if this was coming in as 100% Fresh it would still be vastly underrated. By far and away the best fully fictional film about jornalism, it is a master class on jornalistic integrity, the power and moral compass of good editors and publishers, the relationship reporters should strive to have with public officials, commitment to the truth, sense of porpose and public service from a media stand point.
Beautiful, masterful acting from all involved, great screenplay and a wonderful sense of timing. It depicts wonderfully the poetry and futility of a reporter`s job when it is well done. No matter how good you were yesterday, no matter how good you were today, tomorrow you have to come in and be the best all over again.
Jornalism speaks to a certain kind of person, carreerwise. So it is no surprise that it doesn`t speak to everyone in audiences either. But that does not change the fact that this movie is a gem.
