Premiere
Against very steep odds, writer-director Billy Ray and company have, in telling the real-life story of fictionalizing "New Republic" writer Stephen Glass and his downfall, produced the most entertaining inside-journalism movie since "All the President's Men."

Rolling Stone
The film never digs deep enough into the pressures on Glass from his family, his peers and himself to achieve psychological depth. But as an inside look into the hothouse of journalism, it's dynamite.

ReelViews
May be light when it comes to psychological questions, but its detailed accounting of Glass' actions makes for fascinating viewing.

The Hollywood Reporter
Although the substance could have used more visual style, Ray tells an uncluttered story and draws strong performances from his actors.

Variety
Credibly and absorbingly relates the tale of journalistic fraud perpetrated by young writer Stephen Glass at the New Republic five years back.
