Veronica Guerin

...ett fascinerande, omsorgsfullt strukturerat kriminaldrama, rikt på atmosfär och iakttagelser.

Schumacher handles the drama with surprising restraint and never shies away from the ugly truth of this violent world.

...a powerful fact-based drama about the fearless Irish journalist whose exposé of Dublin druglords resulted in her own execution-style murder in 1996.

Blanchett's insouciant but steely performance alone makes the film worth watching, but it's Brenda Fricker's quietly underplayed turn as Guerin's mother that makes your throat tighten.

Her death was shocking; this well-made telling of her life is inspiring.
