The New York Times - Recommended

"...But his journalism is another story, and that?s the one ?Good Night, and Good Luck,? which opened on Thursday at the Winter Garden, wants to tell. To do so, it quickly jumps back to 1953 and into CBS?s Studio 41, where Murrow and his producer, Fred W. Friendly, run the small empire that creates the newsmagazine ?See It Now.? They are about to embark on a series of broadcasts designed to unmask, and thus destroy, Senator Joseph R. McCarthy, the Communist-witch-hunting demagogue. Amazingly, they succeed."

Chicago Tribune - Recommended

"...In short, the brilliant Chicago-nurtured director David Cromer has taken a mostly prosaic, procedural media drama about the CBS news program ?See it Now,? as adapted from the screenplay of a 20-year-old movie penned by Clooney and Grant Heslov and turned it into something that scorches with the heat of today?s political turmoil."

Stage Buddy - Recommended

"...Clooney and Grant Heslov adapted their movie "Good Night and Good Luck" into a stage play, this time starring Clooney as the protagonist Edward R. Murrow, the iconic and heroic broadcast journalist. Murrow had a long and prestigious career, and the play focuses on his decision to 'take on' Joseph McCarthy, the junior Senator from Wisconsin, risking the wrath of CBS sponsors, the owner of the network William Paley, and, of course, McCarthy himself. ( We need only look at the headlines today to witness a politician seeking revenge against journalists and others who crossed him. )"
