"May be clumsy and overly simplistic at times, but it's an important reminder of how democracy can fail ... and the strength of character it takes to fight the system."

Variety
Variety"Trumbo goes for a tone that’s more scrappy and inspirational, as this ousted ex-A-lister enlists his kids as couriers, builds a network of collaborators and wins two Academy Awards undercover."
—
Time Out
Time Out"Part biopic, part historical gloss, tells a great-man story with a patchwork of fact and fiction, mixing in the odd bit of newsreel with a great many dull, visually flat and poorly lighted dramatic scenes."
—
The New York Times
The New York Times"Bryan Cranston game and gummy in zippy hymn to Hollywood self-love."
—
The Guardian
The Guardian"Luckily, Trumbo has a powerhouse Bryan Cranston to light a fire under the moldier clichés in John McNamara's script."
—
Rolling Stone
Rolling Stone"Timely in its portrayal of a moment when political speech is dangerously charged, yet unabashedly old-fashioned in the sincerity of its storytelling."
—
Los Angeles Times
Los Angeles Times"What makes the movie work are the lively performances, both from the supporting cast and from Cranston."
