Scoop

"An engrossing look behind Prince Andrew’s fall from grace (...) It’s no great slight to 'Scoop' to say that it’s no more compelling than the real-life news broadcast on which it pivots. It’s also no less compelling than said broadcast, which was, after all, a doozy" 

"The film is too close to -- and too impressed by -- the simple fact of what just happened to see under the surface, or even bother to look that hard" 

"n interview recreated for big chunks of the running time, it doesn’t significantly deepen or enrich our understanding of the personalities involved — let alone journalism, privilege, sexual exploitation or the price of fish" 

"Between the lines, 'Scoop' conveys, not only what Andrew most likely did, but what led him to assume that he’d get away with it. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)" 

"What 'Scoop' offers is the modest pleasure of rooting for a reporting team to get a story. That, and mimicry: exceptional on Anderson’s part, less on that of Sewell" 

"There’s nowhere near enough story to justify a movie-length depiction (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)" 

"Significantly, it manages to keep us on the edge our seats even if we do indeed know how it all ends. No small task"
