A well done picture that touches on a very painful time in US history...the witch hunts of the cold war in Hollywood. I watched this little known film with a younger person who had never heard of many of the names affected in this film and was surprised by the viciousness of the attacks, especially from the venomous Hedda Hopper.
The cast is led by an outstanding performance by Bryan Cranston as Trumbo with equally great casting and performances by the supporting cast members Helen Mirren and Ellie Fanning. Movie buffs will be amazed at some of the well known characters that were involved and the injustices that were perpetrated. Those who did not grow up during this period will undoubtedly be amazed at how crazy a time this was. It is film well worth watching.
