Great movie all around

Rating: 10/10 (10 February 2006)

I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed this movie! It is one of the best movies of the year! It was shot in a manner that was realistic. It was quite beautiful without being to artsy. It was raw, but not gritty.
The movie was mixed with news reels and advertisements from the footage of the era that blended in perfectly.
The ensemble cast was real, one felt like these people were actually living in the era of McCarthyism and working for CBS, and while David Straithairn stood out he did it without upstaging the other actors. A testament not only to him but also to Mr. Clooney for great direction.
The jazz music was also a great touch! :)
