Somehow J. Edgar manages to be both epic and empty.

Eye for Film

With noirish lighting and most of the running time spent inside offices or cramped domestic rooms, Eastwood keeps the film claustrophobic, sometimes unpleasantly intimate.

Time Out

A pleasing, intelligent film happy to describe Hoover's behaviour as monstrous but too balanced and searching to damn him as a monster.

Philadelphia Weekly

It's a deeply silly movie. American history as kitsch, played out like a drag show.

Here's that J. Edgar Hoover biopic you asked for, or at least something that meets all the technical requirements to be considered one.

In These Times

A large, self-important, incident-by-incident biopic crammed with luxuriant period detail, laden with old-age make-up and powered by meticulous but riskless acting.

Globe and Mail

Usually the tautest of directors, Clint Eastwood has gone all slack here, allowing his subject to get completely away from him.

Newark Star-Ledger

Although Hoover's luster faded as his career went on, Eastwood's movie seems wan from the start.

The Patriot Ledger

DiCaprio never measures up to the task of creating a plausible interpretation of what enabled Hoover to be both heroic and maniacal.

Epoch Times

J Edgar Hoover, at least as presented here, was not a particularly interesting or likeable individual. It gets boring quickly.

The New Republic

The Hoover material is ugly and very American, and it might have made an authentic monster story. But the picture offered is muddled, cautious, and at cross purposes.
