Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Cronkite hardly needs the image burnishing, and it muddies what could have been a much better examination of how television ... handled the biggest news story the young medium had ever seen.
Fresh: Profound tragedy and professional triumph are artfully entwined in this documentary detailing Walter Cronkite's coverage of the JFK assassination.
Fresh: This deftly assembled piece, from producer-director Alastair Layzell, builds a solid head of steam as it goes, effectively recapturing the shock and urgency of one of our nation's darkest days.
