News of the World

"The film sanctimoniously suggests that ignorance or distrust of the news is nothing new, but rather the bedrock of America’s formation."

"While the trek in between needn’t be dull, Greengrass has made it curiously unengaging."

"It won't disappoint viewers who want to see Hanks play a nerdy cowboy..."

"As great as Hanks is, even his talents aren’t enough to distract us from the sheer predictability of what’s going on here."

"So much of its simple power is owed to the grounded nature of the director’s approach..."

"The palpable chemistry between Hanks and Zengel helps the odd friendship to blossom on screen."

"Greengrass is definitely aiming for big-screen entertainment here, and Hanks is the actor to deliver it."

"There is something quietly miraculous about the way Hanks embodies this character, making him the stirring and fresh emotional centre of a beautifully old-fashioned Western."

"There's a cumulative weight to World that feels, if hardly new, still worth sitting through."

"Engaging and challenging but also just makes you feel good."

"An unhurried, contemplative tale peppered with nail-biting set-pieces."
