Interesting to see so many people take this to task as MAGA cinema (I guess based on its critique of the media and Eastwood's own libertarian leanings?) when a couple bone-headed screenwriting conveniences aside this is one of the more ruthless and heartbreaking depictions…
Josh LewisJan 11, 2020"Deep State creeps conspire with Fake News Media to slander an American hero *cough*Trump2020*cough*" is a concise logline for this and the reason so many people got mad at it without bothering to see it. The overarching narrative is indeed MAGA friendly, but not only is…
Matthew ChristmanJun 4, 2024One of the best films of the 21st century, says everything that needs to be said about where we were all going at the end of the last century, where we are now, and the horrifying reality of anyone who took Eastwood's earlier canon of films too literally.

mariaDec 15, 2019Robert Bresson famously said, "Not beautiful images, but necessary images." At 89, Clint Eastwood has systematically stripped virtually all "prettiness" from his films - and in so doing, has found a certain kind of beauty. There are some filmmakers who inspire you to look a…
Will SloanJan 27, 2020A great movie about demeanor. How it is acted, perceived, and sold out there. Terrific acted by all. Very libertarian in its political leanings (Rockwell must be one of the closest fictional self-portraits Eastwood has pulled, he even stays most of the back half of the…

@Mr. LikeMay 4, 2021From shitty apartments to shitty offices to shitty restaurants to shitty bodies, there is no filmmaker working today who more convincingly depicts American Normality than Clint Eastwood.

This is an underrated movie for sure. This movie was emotional for me. The music, the story, and the acting was fantastic. I definitely felt sympathy towards Richard jewel, but he earned my respect for being a hero.
Breana Walden lovedRichard JewellThe tempo of this film keeps you gradually wanting to reach through the screen to shake Jewell. Heavy emotions when needed and moments of humor to lighten the grip. Hauser deserves so many standing ovations for his emotional and authentic acting.
Daniel Schaal lovedRichard JewellI have yet to find a movie that Sam Rockwell was in that I didn't like. Amazing performances all around and even some lighter moments that make you laugh in this otherwise serious depiction of a true story. 8.5/10

Good one off, compelling enough but nothing crazy here. Should maybe only be a meh. Got to give it to Clint he is very straight forward in his directing which makes for clean stories just not a ton of nuance.
Eye Cinc lovedRichard JewellA movie that hurts to watch, all the injustice from the law enforcement against one dude, it’s so frustrating, Mr. Eastwood brings a great movie, with a great ensamble. Kudos to Sam Rockwell and amazing job.
Zoe lovedRichard JewellGod the fact that now with AI it can happen 10x worse but maybe it could also help our faster? Idk, but it’s scary to think ab. Glad it ended somewhat well for him in real life

A disgracefully handled case. Hauser, Rockwell and Bates make a great good guys team. While Scruggs and Shaw screw up everything.
Garrett likedRichard JewellJust watched this on a plane. Good plane movie, probably would’ve been a little bored if on the couch or elsewhere.
Allison likedRichard JewellNever knew any of this backstory. Enjoyed the film. Nicely paced compared to classic Eastwood films. Great acting.

This movie was an eye opener how the media can quickly ruin an innocent citizens life over a unverified details it almost looks like what we see our news stations doing today except Twitter wasn’t born yet so the news and newspapers were more powerful back than glad this…
SNSean NashTHE FBI IS CORRUPT AND THE MEDIA IS A WHORE.
JSjulie stracenerExcellent movie. Nice to finally hear the truth about Richard Jewell.
- DMDaniel Meltzer
Portrayed the true story of the aftermath for Richard Jewell very well. An emotional eye-opening film, I couldn't get enough. Was one of those movies you never wanted to end.
DFDenise FoucheTime and time again government agents have proven they can not be trusted.
JWJames WallenAccurate story, emotional moments, flawless acting.
- WPWade Pilgreen
Great movie. Clint did it again.
SRSummer Rose-PachecoA beautiful heart framed by government. I'm glad for the outcome
SSSharon SchneiderGood true story. A little drawn out and boring at times. Could have shortened it a bit, but you see the hell this poor guy and his mom went through.

It’s Hauser who keeps the movie from tilting over, even though Eastwood and Ray initially seem to patronize the character. The knuckleheaded scene-stealer from I, Tonya and BlacKkKlansman has the chance here to play a fuller, more rounded character for a change, and he’s unexpectedly up to the task. The performance is an eye-opener. With a little refinement and polish, we may have found our long-awaited Ignatius J. Reilly.

Hauser, as Richard, is absolutely superb: nebbishy, so solicitous of authority that he barely bothers to defend himself and seeming, at times, slightly dimwitted. As Watson, Rockwell often steals the spotlight, playing his client’s most ardent defender and, when called for, his most dismayed life coach, as Richard naively finds himself playing into the hands of his enemies again and again.

Eastwood once again takes a sharp stab at America’s penchant for attacking first, asking questions later.
