‘Trumbo’ a witty film about a tortured period (Our grade: B)
Bryan Cranston in “Trumbo.” (Bleecker Street/Hilary Bronwyn Gayle/TNS)
Mick LaSalle – San Francisco Chronicle
Dalton Trumbo wrote the screenplays for scores of movies, but he probably never wanted or expected to live a drama worthy of one. And then life intruded, in the form of the House Un-American Activities Committee, and he was faced with a crisis that tested everything he had — his will, his talents, his finances, his faith and his family.
He had to become as strong as the hero of a movie, or fall to pieces.
