Trumbo’s difficulties in surviving as a writer under theblacklist, and his efforts to break it, are the movie’s heart.

...a film that calls Hollywood on its crap, while ladling on a little bit more in the form of misty-eyed romanticism.

...[Bryan Cranston gør] et uudsletteligt indtryk som forfatteren, der med en uslukkelig arbejdsiver og en overflod af intelligente oneliners jagede både frihed, anerkendelse og gode fortællinger.

Med Trumbo har instruktøren Jay Roach skabt en vigtig bio-pic, om en hollywoodskæbne på trods af intolerance, hysteri og tilsidesættelse af menneskerettighederne.

Arbejdsmanien og ydmygelsen ved ikke at eje sit eget navn er smukt skildret, og da den gode vilje overtages af den djævelske charme, bliver det en god film.
