Truth, Glasgow Film Festival, 25 February, 2016
Truth
A tense political drama with bittersweet echoes of Redford’s All the President’s Men.
GFT / Thu 25 Feb, 2016 (18.15)
Running time: 2h5m
Cate Blanchett is on terrific form in this gripping account of the scandal that caused the downfall of veteran broadcaster Dan Rather (beautifully played by Robert Redford). 60 Minutes had an enviable reputation for the integrity of its journalism and became the last bastion of serious investigative journalism on American television. In 2004, producer Mary Mapes (played by Blanchett) fiercely pursued a story that George W Bush received preferential treatment to avoid the Vietnam draft. Bush supporters retaliated with accusations of political bias and the stage was set for a battle in which truth was the first casualty. A tense political drama with bittersweet echoes of Redford’s All the President’s Men.
