For a documentary that mostly reflects on events of decades past, The Newspaperman feels remarkably timely when it recounts the Post's battles with the Nixon administration.

If anything, The Newspaperman is a reminder that we all might benefit from boasting the same determination to expose lies that Bradlee did.

This film perfectly covers the editor's personal life, public life and iconic status as the most admired journalist of his day.

What's not so expected, what comes as something bordering on shock, of a gratifying kind, is how much else the film takes on in this buoyant and mercilessly frank look at Bradlee's life and career.

It's a fully rendered portrait of a man who loved journalism and became one of the most influential newsmakers of the 20th century.

Rating: 9/10 --
...fascinating but zero warts homage to Bradlee...would have been more admirable had it dealt in detail with the moral chiaroscuros that were apparent in the man instead of basically ignoring them to produce a simplistic paean to a complex man.

Mostly, though, this is a solid tribute to one of the most commanding forces an old-school newsroom has ever seen.
