Shattered Glass movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: Not only an honest depiction of one journalist's rampant dishonesty but a compelling movie by just about any standard. Read more
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: Reminds you how our culture's emphasis on success and stardom in any field -- and the betrayal of ethics to attain them -- has a cumulative, corrosive effect on society, no matter how small the stage may be. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: Hayden Christensen strikes all the right notes as the talented, charming and very cloying Stephen Glass, who made a huge splash at the New Republic magazine in the late 1990s with colorful stories. Read more
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: As directed by Billy Ray, the film has an exceptionally tight focus and a fascinating story to tell. Read more
Mark Caro, Chicago Tribune: Sarsgaard plays Lane with great subtlety and grace. Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: An astute and surprisingly gripping drama not only about the ethics of magazine writing, but also, more generally, about the subtle political and psychological dynamics of modern office culture. Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: Smart about good vs. evil. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: More than being a smart and accurate look at magazine journalism -- no small matter -- Shattered Glass is also a compelling portrait of a psychosis at work. Read more
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle: It's funny and gripping, a story about people that also happens to be about journalistic principle. Read more
Michael Booth, Denver Post: A good movie about a real-life problem journalist that unfortunately has almost nothing to do with journalism's real-life problems. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: Right from the start, Hayden Christensen is a revelation. Read more
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: What are we to learn from this? Not the broad lesson that every line of work has its share of charlatans: The script is way too pious to swallow such a generic pill. And not anything important about Glass, since there's no real character examination. Read more
Dallas Morning News: Here's a verdict that Shattered Glass makes abundantly clear: Hayden Christensen can act. Read more
Ella Taylor, L.A. Weekly: I'm heartened that someone still has enough faith in the fourth estate to imagine this tawdry saga as an old-fashioned morality play in which the good guys come up tops. Read more
Jan Stuart, Newsday: Christensen immerses himself completely and chillingly into the skin of Glass. Read more
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture: Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: Told in dully straightforward terms, there's nothing here that would feel out of place in an old-fashioned TV movie. That doesn't make the drama any less compelling though. Read more
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News: Next to the subsequent Jayson Blair debacle at The New York Times, the Glass affair is about as scandalous as a condom found in the parking lot at a National Youth Christian Leadership Conference. Read more
Rex Reed, New York Observer: Even if you don't care much about the responsibility of the press, I think you will find this cautionary tale one terrific movie. Read more
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer: About as well executed as any movie I've seen this year. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: A sober, wry and often riveting account of an infamous moment in journalism. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: Shattered Glass may be light when it comes to psychological questions, but its detailed accounting of Glass' actions makes for fascinating viewing. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: The movie is smart about journalism because it is smart about offices. Read more
Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle: An impressively compelling film about disgraced journalist Stephen Glass. Read more
David Edelstein, Slate: It doesn't have the shape of a great drama: It has some whopping omissions, and its uplifting climax is an eye-roller. But it makes us feel the way our forefathers must have felt after a really good public stoning. Read more
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune: It takes craft, insight and expert delivery to make an 'insider' story interesting to those on the outside. And that's exactly what Shattered Glass does. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: Does a superb job in presenting four of the five journalistic 'Ws' of its story: the who, what, where and when. It fails, however, on the essential 'why' of the tale. Read more
Mike Clark, USA Today: Christensen is so good in the role ... that you wonder anew what went wrong with his performance as Anakin Skywalker in the last Star Wars. Read more
J. Hoberman, Village Voice: Like its subject, the movie is self-important yet insipid. Read more
