Critic Reviews of "Paterno"
indieWireApril 09, 2018It speaks to viewers with disparate reactions, but it also speaks to anyone who didn't dig into the scandal at the time by outlining what happens when we are too quick to defend the famous faces instead of those claiming to be victimized by them.
VarietyApril 09, 2018Unfortunately, no amount of makeup or prosthetic noses can hold [Al] Pacino back for long, and his growl is so loud sometimes that it overpowers the vision of the wounded god Paterno became.
Wall Street JournalApril 06, 2018Al Pacino's Paterno is so convincing, and eerily lifelike it becomes necessary from time to time, to remember that this isn't the actual coach
CNN.comApril 06, 2018Yes, it's interesting to watch Paterno's end as his family tries to rally around him, but there are too-few glimpses of Penn St. in his heyday, when he and others conveniently looked the other way.
Chicago Sun-TimesApril 06, 2018Now, with the title role in HBO's unsettling and riveting and scathing Paterno, Pacino reminds us of why he's a singular talent.
Birth.Movies.Death.April 09, 2018As a motion picture, Paterno is at odds with itself - playing both as a chamber piece character study and a Spotlight-style investigative journalism procedural - never really finding its true footing.
The Straits Times (Singapore)April 09, 2018Where this movie may really lose you, though, is when it asks you to care about what and when Paterno knew of the abuse, or even to feel sorry for him.
The WeekApril 06, 2018Such a brutal referendum on how deflections, euphemisms, and clichés keep us from having to know what victims went through.
Las Vegas Review-JournalApril 06, 2018Through Aaron and Ganim's "Spotlight"-style reporting, Paterno finally puts a human face on the Sandusky atrocities.
