Full review of J. Edgar available, as usual, at the Herald.
Wait, maybe I should rewrite that, because that implies there will be a partial review here, and I’m too busy for that beyond saying that J. Edgar is a mess that tries to cover all aspects of J. Edgar Hoover’s life at the expense of finding depth in any of them. Everyone involved is talented–star Leonardo DiCaprio, director Clint Eastwood, writer Dustin Lance Black–but the end product is frustrating and unrewarding. At least it’s better than Breaking Dawn!
