Preview: Tabloid (2011)

Synopsis:

A documentary about a sensational story from the 1970's covered by tabloid journalists in England that muddied the facts in a case that had he-said-she-said issues.

• Poster: B-

Review:

It evokes a sense of newspapers and that's the primary reason it succeeds, but the image choice and hard-to-read print make it less enticing.

• Trailer: B+

Review:

I had never heard of the story, but it sure sounds like something that might be fun to pop in and watch.

Oscar Prospects:

Errol Morris has been an Academy darling in recent years, nabbing a number of nominations. However, I don't think this one's going to earn him another...unless critics really step up to support it.

Release Date:
