J. Edgar
We live here in a life adventure that man named J. Edgar Hoover, the powerful president of F.B.I. For nearly 50 years. Things may turn out to be a very different turn for this man who has made up his mind to look at his professional and personal life but differently than before.

J Edgar Hoover, at least as presented here, was not a particularly interesting or likeable individual. It gets boring quickly.
May 03, 2015
It's a deeply silly movie. American history as kitsch, played out like a drag show.

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

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

Anyone smell an Oscar?

With noirish lighting and most of the running time spent inside offices or cramped domestic rooms, Eastwood keeps the film claustrophobic, sometimes unpleasantly intimate.
January 17, 2012
A pleasing, intelligent film happy to describe Hoover's behaviour as monstrous but too balanced and searching to damn him as a monster.
April 13, 2016
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.

Here's that J. Edgar Hoover biopic you asked for, or at least something that meets all the technical requirements to be considered one.
November 11, 2011
Somehow J. Edgar manages to be both epic and empty.

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.

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