What Richard Jewell Is About

Clint Eastwood's 2019 film follows a security guard who spotted a bomb in Atlanta in 1996. He is soon named a suspect. The press and the investigation close in on him. The film takes aim at the media and at institutions; the narrative puts Jewell's defencelessness at its centre. Kathy Bates was nominated. It rests on real events. Its depiction of a journalist trading sex for information drew an objection from the newspaper concerned and a wide argument. Who it's for: those who like true story adaptations. Who it's not for: viewers who would take the account as wholly accurate; one line in it is disputed.
