Um tranquilo road-movie ocidental sem um enredo dramático forte, mas com um coração humanista. Simplesmente Hanks. O seu objetivo é mostrar novamente os cantos e personagens ligeiramente diferentes do período western americano, as suas leis e os seus problemas. Duma forma mais realista do que a do The Postman - O Mensageiro de Costner :-) Só não tem uma atmosfera de Greegrass. Foi ele que o dirigiu mesmo? O regresso de James N. Howard ao género é agradável — embora devido à abordagem minimalista do filme, não o desfrutamos plenamente até aos créditos finais.

Tom Hanks is as reliable as ever, but News of the World is easily the most boring film Paul Greengrass has directed. It feels way more sterile and far less personal than any of his other work. For such an intriguing premise, I found myself struggling to stay awake, especially in the second half. It's basically the epitome of a "Netflix standard."

More was probably expected from a Paul Greengrass/Tom Hanks collaboration. For me, it's a an unnecessary and uninteresting film that didn't bring anything new. It's shot well, acted well (Helena Zengel, after System Crasher, proves once again that she is on an excellent path). The stumbling block for me is the story, did Greengrass really have to choose such an uninteresting subject? Watching a traveling journalist in the Wild West is probably the most boring option available. It lacks action, emotion, drive, and tension – everything I like basically. Weak three stars for Hanks. Story***, Action*, Humor>No, Violence>No, Entertainment**, Music***, Visuals***, Atmosphere***, Tension**. 5/10.

Paul went out of his comfort zone into the prairie, where life is a circle, and you have to remember that in order to move on. A simple but beautifully constructed story, told with fluid camera strokes, that you've heard a hundred times before, but that the Hanks-Zengel duo will want to hear again and again. The film is a quiet commentary on America's brokenness and the need for kindness and acceptance of difference. It may not have any dizzying depth, but it's certainly Greengrass' most personal, intimate and moving work, and its simple goodness made me believe at times that the world isn't messed up. Hats off and I love it.

A few years after the Civil War, Captain Kidd is traveling through Texas reading the news to the people. One day he comes across a little girl who was once abducted by Indians, and he decides to return her to her relatives. But it's not going to be an easy journey. This intimate western relies on great cinematography, music and an excellent Tom Hanks in the lead role, and isn't afraid of a slower pace, but unfortunately it tells a story that is woefully transparent and not very revelatory. And ultimately a little boring.
