I thought the movie was great.... Eastwood’s direction and all the actors (especially Jewell and his mother) were excellent. Based on what I recall about the event when it happened, I think that it can be said to be a very accurate depiction as well.... the other night I was watching a tv review of it and as part of the review, the original footage of the speech by Jewell’s mother (when she went before the press to plead for her son’s good name to be returned to him) was played back to back with the movie’s version of the same speech.... the dialogue and the complete setting was totally spot on. In fact, when I think about movies based on real life events, this one stands way higher than any I can think of as far as accuracy.
There are quite a few reviews you can find of the movie but I rather liked this one.... https://stream.org/want-to-understand-the-impeachment-dont-watch-the-hearings-watch-richard-jewell/
That’s a good evaluation. Thank you for your comment and link.
I forwarded that review to family that hadn’t yet seen it.
Thanks for the link!....Great review!
