    Well written and well cast, this movie captures that volatile moment when the 50s turned into the 60s. That is, the new medium of television shifted from a potential, fact-based information tool to entertainment supported by advertising. Further, secondary story lines included McCarthy-ism, social biases of women and married couples in the work place and, of course, smoking everywhere. "Good Night and Good Luck" is still pertinent, especially regarding media. One of my all-time favorite films.

    Reviewed in Canada on August 22, 2012

    No car chases, boobs shaking or a sullen "hero" waving a gun around. That's right, you've got to use your head here... God forbid!
    This incredible movie is about friendship, honor, dignity and simply doing the right thing. Standing up to oppression and winning.
    The tempo is spot on, the writing is clever, the directing is perfect and being filmed in black and white is appropriate. But one thing
    about this film towers over everything else... the acting. Everyone is well cast and gives "Oscar" worthy performances, especially
    David Strathairn (nominated for Best Actor and surprisingly lost to Philip Seymour Hoffman (Capote) in 2005)

    I remember watching the Macarthy hearings on our black and white TV back in the early fifties - I was just a kid at the time - As got older I watche Edward R. Murrow on his nightly TV show. - I use to watch Walter Winchel - He always wore a had and would tap on a telegraph key all the time between comments.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Edward. R Murrow vs senator Joseph McCarthy
    Reviewed in Canada on November 18, 2007
    i just watched good night,and good luck,which is about CBS newsman
    Edward R. Murrow and his fight against senator Joseph McCarthy, a
    junior senator from Wisconsin,during the 1950's.McCarthy chaired a
    committee to find communists and communist sympathizers and expose
    them.many of these people worked in the film industry.this was a time
    of anti communist sentiment in the U.S.where anyone who was deemed a
    threat to national security was targeted by senator McCarthy and others
    in hearings held against them.many of these people lost their jobs or
    worse.how fair the trials were and how compelling the evidence against
    these people was is hard to say for sure.individual cases were probably
    different.it is based on a true story,and the events did take place,but
    i think you still have to take it with a grain of salt as it has its
    own bias.the movie depicts the events the way the filmmakers have
    interpreted things.so you really have to make up your own mind about
    how accurate it might or might not be.however,as simply a movie,it is
    very entertaining,with great performances all around from an ensemble
    cast.it is well directed and shooting it in black and white was very
    effective.at times however,it was preachy,which was annoying,and i'm
    still not sure why Murrow ended each broadcast with the words"good
    night and good luck" and i found that a bit annoying.i would have liked
    the filmmakers to give an explanation for those words,maybe show the
    genesis behind them and give them more meaning,put them into
    context.i'm not saying whether the movie was accurate or not,and can
    only rate it for it's entertainment value as well as its technical
    merit.overall,the film was well made, with a good eye for detail of the
    era,and it had a very authentic feel about it.it was well paced with
    crisp dialogue and for a drama it was better done than many films of
    the genre.it was at times engaging,yet not quite riveting.the only
    other complaint i have is that it could have had more substance and
    been a bit more in-depth.otherwise,i enjoyed it. 3/5

    ES increible que un "guapo de la pantalla" se haya involucrado de esta manera en un tema tan sensible y además en blanco y negro. El protagonista es fantástico y el tema no puede estar mejor llevado. Lo que se puede alcanzar con valentía y ganas de acabar con las injusticias y la arbitrariedad está demostrado en este peliculón.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating insight
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 21, 2011

    This is the biopic of a man called Edward Murrow, an american newsreader from the 1940s and 50s. This looks very closely at his dealings with the paranoid general McCarthy and his witch-hunts against communism which gave rise to Arthur Miller's play, The Crucible. Now I cannot say that I am familiar with the individuals concerned, so cannot say how closely they have been portrayed by the ensemble cast, but their performances are utterly compelling, especially David Straithern as Murrow.

    The film is extremely claustrophobic, set almost entirely within the confines of a tv studio. It is also completely dialogue driven, so careful attention is needed to keep abreast of the events as they unfold, though at only an hour and a half long, there is no strain on the audience to maintain an unduly long attention span. Though filmed in colour, it is presented in black & white to give it a sense of age, in a very similar manner to Schindler's List.

    The timing of the film is very interesting, as the subject matter is essentially the freedom of the press and the independent criticism of politicians by an independent media - a topic that is still a concern today, as evidenced by the politicisation of certain news outlets, as exemplified by the right wing empire of Rupert Murdoch.

    For anyone interested in McCarthyism, this is a great film to watch, and is brilliantly acted and directed. The only drawback is that at times it feels like you're watching an advert for smoking, given that the filmmakers decided that you would need some backlit smoke in just about every scene in order for it to look authentic. Other than that, this is a great film that celebrates free speech but does come with some sober warnings.
