Collider | ‘Trumbo’ Review
Collider
Hollywood loves stories about itself, even when Hollywood behaved poorly and caved to fear and paranoia. Screenwriter and Communist Party member Dalton Trumbo was blacklisted during the Red Scare of the 1950s, and Jay Roach’s biopic Trumbo pays tribute to a talented man who stuck to his ideals. However, there’s hardly anything daring or noteworthy about Roach’s take on Trumbo’s story, and although Roach has assembled an outstanding cast, it all feels like everyone involved is on board because they want to do right by Trumbo more than anything else.
