‘Broadcast News’

By Jade Budowski
Comedy

If you’ve never quite forgiven HBO for The Newsroom or you’re exhausted by the overwhelming attacks on the media nowadays, we might have just the cure. Starring Holly Hunter as a tightly-wound, brilliant news producer who becomes entangled in a love triangle of sorts with her reporter best friend (Albert Brooks) and a vapid-yet-handsome news anchor (William Hurt), the flawlessly-constructed film gifts us with universally stellar performances, a hell of a dynamic female protagonist, and an honest glimpse into a hectic workplace. So what are you waiting for? Embrace the unapologetically 80s style and buckle in for Broadcast News.
