Film Studies: George is talking sense - but is anyone listening? - Independent
This is the moment to ask those critics who didn't quite get George Clooney's debut film, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2002), to stay after school and see it again. Confessions was also a film about television in that it dealt with Chuck Barris, the brilliant inventor of silly game shows, and a man who said he was working for the CIA. It is the more inventive film, one in which levels of reality struggle for supremacy. Good Night, and Good Luck is remorselessly simple, yet it is inspired by how far television is now the camp fire at which our tribe gathers to stay warm.
