GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

Wade V. Corbeil Although everything I know about this era comes from reading about it, nonetheless One of the Hollywood Ten seems to accurately depict a darker side of our history during the Cold War years when Communism was a threat to our country. (If this was real or a perceived threat is controversial).However, One of the Hollywood Ten does accurately tell the story of Herber Bieberman and his trials and eventual conviction of being branded a communist by the US Government, and the ramifications this had to not only his life, but also that of his actress wife as well.Well written and excellently acted, One of the Hollywood Ten is certainly worth watching.

caburns90 I thought this was a well-made film by a director of integrity about another director of integrity. It showed the devastating effects of HUAC witch-hunts on the careers and families of brilliant filmmakers in Hollywood, during the late '40s and early '50s. It exposed the split between those who were able to withstand the crass interrogations and those who failed. It was possible to identify with the tragedy of those who were jailed and feel joy when they found a way of escaping from their victimization. I attended a showing of the film with the director answering questions about his film. I was struck by his humility and empathy.

max_the_dog This film tells the story of Herbert Biberman (Jeff Goldblum), who is blacklisted at the height of the anti-communism movement. Listed along with him are Michael Williams, a screenwriter (Geraint Wyn-Davies), producer Paul Jarrico (John Sessions, who does a fine American accent) and Edward Dmytryk (Sean Chapman). Biberman is thrown in prison because he and his wife, actress Gale Sondergaard (Greta Scacchi) refuse to "name names" of communist friends. Later on, the film deals with the making of "Salt of the Earth", which tells the story of Mexican mine workers who decided to strike due to unfair practices. Biberman first casts his wife in the lead role, then replaces her with Mexican actress Rosaura Revueltas (Angela Molina). Sondergaard, who has been unable to find work for years because of her husband, is very upset by this, but continues to stand by her husband. I think this is a story that needed to be told, but I think the direction could have been better. All of the performances were excellent. I don't think that this is a "must see" film, but it's worth seeing if you are interested in this period of history or are a fan of any of the actors in the film.

buffy-40 This is a superb film about Blacklisting of Hollywoods writers/directors and actors. Jeff Goldblum is fantastic as Director Herbert Biebelmen who made the acclaimed film "Salt Of The City". This is a very powerful film superbly Directed by veteran Welsh film maker Karl Francis. It also features a great supporting cast. Possible Oscar noms for this film.
