Review of Truth (2015) by Kevin M. W — 18 Jan 2016

Cate Blanchett shores up this pretty darn good drama about political corruption and the news people that report on it. Prior to Bush the 2nd's second election a producer for 60 Minutes discovers proof that the boy chief of privilege skipped on duty in Vietnam (which the vast majority of American illiterati viewed as a Huck Finn style minor offence).

Blanchett et al do a beautiful job conveying at first victory and then dread as the secret hand of power reaches out from the darkness to extinguish their voice. Redford is restrained and properly so as Dan Rather.

A great viewing experience.
