Trumbo (out Feb 18) tells the true story of Dalton Trumbo, an acclaimed Hollywood screenwriter who was blacklisted in the late 1940s for being a Communist sympathiser. It’s repetitive but Trumbo is a moderately interesting character study. He had both good and bad qualities. Bryan Cranston embodies the leading character well. Grade: B.
