Whitey: United States of America v. James J. Bulger

The journalism is comprehensive, the scope admirably large. Those who can keep up will learn plenty about how a major, high-profile case proceeds.

Berlinger takes...camera outside and spends time with the families of Whitey’s victims... These are the film’s most moving sections and the filmmaker handles them with both sensitivity and tact.

...a great piece of journalism, or even a particularly good film. Berlinger’s work here is impressively comprehensive, and the volume of information on the case is plentiful.
