Reviews for J. Edgar
"J. Edgar is a somber, enigmatic, darkly fascinating tale... Starring an impressive Leonardo DiCaprio and crafted with Clint Eastwood's usual impeccable professionalism, J. Edgar gets its power from the way the director's traditional filmmaking style interacts with the revisionist thrust of Dustin Lance Black's script."
