It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

I'm not going to talk about the film as a film because, it seems to me, a pointless exercise. We all know the story. Painful, bitter, shattering. What we didn't know, what we couldn't even imagine is what was in Joe Paterno's heart in mind. Now we have a plausible, profoundly human version of it, in Al Pacino's eyes. I saw a decent man of his generation confronted by the new approach to decency. I saw in his eyes a sort of resignation, the kind of resignation suffered by the decent man who knows he's guilty. Al Pacino is still breaking ground, still at the vanguard of his own profession. Hurrah !

History repeats itself once again with the systemic failure, from the top down, of the incompetence of so many people who chose to ignore a problem and pretended that nothing would ever happen due to their inability to accept responsibility and accountability. A very good performance by Al Pacino as Joe Paterno. You won't regret taking one hour and 45 minutes to view this film.

Maybe a few facts presented, but this film was not at all enjoyable.Agonizingly slow. Overall theme was dark, and Coach Paterno himself is presented at times, as a bumbling clueless idiot. No background on his achievements was preswnted, and football is just a very small part of this story. Sandusky himself is rarely ever seen, and we do not get an accurate representation of his motivations. I thought this movie would be interesting, but it is bleak and no fun. My time was wasted

Awful film but only in what it portrays, time after time we hear of so many instances of what this film depicts. Children abused by those their parents trust, only to have an institutionalised cover up primarily then a sort of circling of the wagons to minimise damage to it. Church, school, social care, it sometimes feels like they were all set up to indulge paedophiles. When the story breaks even decent members of those institutions somehow feel compelled to deny the facts, it suddenly becomes a case of defending the establishment rather than the children placed in their care.
