Operates as both an examination of the dominating media mentality at the time and an embodiment of it, no less keen on delving into the juicy details now as tabloid rags were then.

Morris suggests that you can sometimes find profundity in triviality - and though Joyce condemns herself out of her own mouth, it is always possible to feel sorry for a woman whose obsession has so totally ruled her life.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 11, 2011

A vivid picture of the way we lived then.

McKinney is no Robert McNamara, but there are lessons to be learned from this fog of sleaze.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 10, 2011

Morris's doc is less about What Really Happened than exploring the lifespan of one of those stories that kept on giving.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 10, 2011

[Morris] tells us nothing about the prurience and gutter morality of the tabloid newspaper industry that Britons haven't heard every day and that the world, in the Murdochgate era, is now hearing likewise.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 10, 2011

This is a lighter, less significant work than his 'Standard Operating Procedure' or 'The Fog of War', but it's engrossing and pleasingly slippery with the facts.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 8, 2011

A compelling story told with Morris's usual flair.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 6, 2011

A lot of fun; Morris himself is clearly unconvinced about Joyce -- and no wonder -- but she's a funny woman and hers is a ripping yarn if ever there was one.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 21, 2011

Errol Morris is a genius, a gifted documentarian who has made better movies than "Tabloid," but none so entertaining.

Full Review | Original Score: 4.5/5 | Aug 11, 2011

Morris has found a real character in McKinney, but to what end, I couldn't say.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 5, 2011

"Tabloid" is tantalizing, but like yesterday's headlines, it's a fleeting flirtation.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 5, 2011

Though the events Tabloid recounts took place in the pre-digital age, the film also functions as a kind of prehistory of modern celebrity culture and tabloid journalism.

Full Review | Jul 28, 2011

Morris's subject is sexual fantasy and a particular kind of American stupidity-the ability to substitute self-justification for self-knowledge. His tone is merry.

Full Review | Jul 24, 2011

McKinney is of course the star, insisting that her version of events is the true one and that everyone else has some sort of axe to grind and doesn't know what they're talking about.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 23, 2011

It is quite simply one of the craziest stories ever told, made all the crazier by the fact that it's true. Or at least some version of it is true.

Full Review | Original Score: A | Jul 22, 2011

Tabloid, Errol Morris' latest wild and woolly portrait of human self-delusion, is a scandal-sheet dream come to life.

Full Review | Original Score: A- | Jul 21, 2011

The movie is guilty of condescending toward its subjects, though most of them appear to be having a fabulous time telling tales.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 21, 2011

A tale of obsession and abduction, self-delusion and sexual confusion, Errol Morris' Tabloid stands as an almost giddy affirmation of the old cliche: Truth is stranger than fiction.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jul 21, 2011

With its cutesy cut-out graphics and mock-emphatic headlines, Tabloid sends up the hysteria of supermarket-rag coverage, but that's also the fuel that keeps it running.
