Richard Jewell - Reviews

...a deeply affecting drama...

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.

...[a] fleet, densely textured drama...

...an elegant, even-handed character study...

Anchored by a strong performance by Paul Walter Hauser...

...in many ways, it is a very good story, efficiently told – and that’s down to the excellent and very plausible performance from Paul Walter Hauser.

Ett lysande karaktärsporträtt

Den småynkelige og naive, men godhjertede Jewell-karakter er interessant...

...Clint Eastwood lägger ett kontemplativt pussel med våra fördomar.

Den sanna historien om en säkerhetsvakt som upptäckte en bomb och räddade liv – för att snart pekas ut som gärningsman av media och FBI – är som gjord för Clint Eastwood.

Clint Eastwood turns the sad true story of Richard Jewell into another salute to American heroism

...an example of clear, masterful storytelling that gets to the heart of complex questions about human nature.

Clint Eastwood continues his stellar run of films about unlikely American heroes hunted by the spotlight.

Eastwood and his production design team and the cinematographer Yves Belanger perfectly capture the mid-1990s time period. The re-creation of the bombing on the night of a concert at Centennial Park is so accurate as to be unnerving.
