i think this film do a fine job of portray the ugliness of the u government in the repressive mccarthy era . goldblum be excellent in his depiction of the courage it take to stand up to this tyranny and i find it very inspirational . in particular his attempt to confront the panel during the hearing in washington be very well handle and it make me deeply consider how i would hold up in similar circumstance . i also appreciate the tenderness and commitment the he and his wife show to each other . a mature portrayal . i recommend it . 7 star out of 10 .
