Looks excellent - looks like another swag of Oscar nominations (and possible wins) for Eastwood, Dicaprio and Black.

Also Judi Dench. Always a big favourite with the Academy.

Doesn't look like they are going to address the homosexuality issues.

Back when Brokeback Mountain was being filmed, some people thought they'd bury the gay angle in the film. Well they didn't. I'm hoping we'll be just as satisfied with this film when it is released. I have faith in Dustin Lance Black.
That's exactly what ran across my mind as I watched the trailer.
Not to be undone, Meryl Streep has a movie coming out about Margaret Thatcher. She looks just like her in the promos!

I went and saw the movie yesterday. I really enjoyed it. After the move, Dustin Lance Black was there to tell a little about what he did to learn about Hoover and told us a little more detail, answered some questions. I really enjoyed the movie and hearing him tell us more. It was a thing he did for members of Outfest, which I'm not a member of but I actually won tickets from something I filled out for Instinct Magazine.
He said that he interviewed people that knew him...people that are in their 80's and 90's now. He went and lived in the area where Hoover lived in DC and went to places he went to. He read all of the books on him and tried to determine what was truth and what was written for some agenda. He learned about what it was like to be gay during that period. I found that stuff fascinating.
There are many lessons to learn from our history and how people dealt with being forced to hide who they are.

Definitely worth seeing.
On the negative side, the film jumps around time with, obviously, Hoover as the link, but it was not clear to me what the buzzing about was supposed to be achieving. You don't really find out that much about him beyond the surface events, apart from maybe his gay side. For me, it would have been a better film, if it covered less ground more deeply
Some of the aging make up is terrible.
The film's sympathy for Hoover almost certainly makes him nicer and less malevolent than he really was.
On the plus side, the acting is excellent all round.
The music, including original music by Eastwood, is evocative and memorable.
The direction and look of the film are dark and reflective. I did not lose interest even though it is a long film.
Somewhat disappointed that it was not more insightful in its depiction of Hoover. But a very worthy and enjoyable effort nonetheless.

Mr. Black said that there was so much information to choose from. They tried to stay away from things that were too commonly known, such as going after people in Hollywood. And yet there are many things that we will never know about him. Only he and Clyde knew and he did not want to guess too much. He also felt that it was important to portray him that way. That was all that was known about him by people that knew him. I feel like he is even hiding a part of himself to the audience.
Back then, being a homosexual did not mean being attracted to men. It meant dressing in women's clothing and having sex with men. The word gay was not even used back then for us.

I really enjoyed the film. I feel like it would have been absolutely amazing if they hadnt have jumped around so much and focused it more. It wasnt confusing at all, it just seemed too much and made the film seem very long. It kind of had that LotR effect where you felt like you saw the ending of the movie 3 scenes ago. Although, you figured the movie would end with his death.
What they did really really well is the relationship between J. Edgar and Clyde Tolson. I thought that was just perfectly done and well acted by both actors. I hope that is enough to get them a Oscar nod, but we will see.
Overall, well worth the money to go see in theaters.

Just saw it, and it was terrific! The acting is excellent. The aging make up was what it is. People age and that's that. Would have liked the relationship to be a little more visceral between them, but then would I want to see them fucking naked on the floor? Well, yeah, but don't know what it would do for the story line. Think Edgar and Clyde's relationship in the film was symbolic of Eddgar's constrained, truncated life generally.

I actually enjoyed the movie; went to see it with a couple of friends yesterday.
Now, I did not like the constant jumping around, but it did come together towards the end - and that aging makeup, especially for Clyde, was abysmal. But overall, even for a person apathetic towards politics as I am, I'd have to rank it higher than some critics did(of course I don't consider People magazine, of all people, critics).
Glad I went into it with no expectations.
