The filmmakers squander a boundlessly fascinating figure in service of yet another paint-by-numbers info-doc with all the dramatic heft of a book report. Read full review

Topicality is all or at least a large part of the movie’s draw. Read full review

Get Me Roger Stone offers its audience an unblinking, if disappointingly straightforward, look at the infamous operator. Read full review
