- 50The New York TimesBen KenigsbergThe New York TimesBen KenigsbergAlthough produced independently, this documentary, directed by Kirk Simon, plays as if the Pulitzers were presenting an award to themselves.
- 50Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlVillage VoiceAlan ScherstuhlIt’s nice to see everyone, but the analysis never runs too deep.
- 50Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenLos Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenServing as something of an overstuffed sampler platter, the documentary The Pulitzer at 100, marking the centenary of newspaper publisher Joseph Pulitzer’s effort to place journalism on equal footing with arts and letters, is big on variety but comes up frustratingly short on substance.
- 40The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeFar too broad to be deep in any respect, the lightweight documentary benefits from access to plenty of top-shelf interviewees but plays like a back-patting muddle.
