Roger Ebert

There's a propulsive force to every scene in 'Scoop,' with Sam propelling us forward as she stalks across lobbies and down hallways in her thigh-high boots.

Ready Steady Cut

The film’s focus is mostly on how Sam McAlister cleverly got the royal to agree to the damning interview.

The Guardian

Rufus Sewell in heavy prosthetic makeup plays the pompous HRH, a puffy-faced babyish poltroon whose smug smile is that of someone accustomed to having his every lame or boorish joke greeted with gales of laughter.

Variety

"Scoop" can offer no surprises to any viewers who were remotely acquainted with news media five years ago, though the simultaneous absurdity and horror of the interview — leaving its royal subject at once defeated and recalcitrant — startles us once more.

CNN

“Scoop” juggles so many timely balls it’s a bit of a shame the film doesn’t accomplish that task with more dexterity.

Geek Vibes Nation

Scoop captures the lack of humility (and humanity) with Prince Andrew. That also includes the cohort of royal staff who thought they could talk their way out of such a scandal because of their titles.

Screen Rant

Despite strong performances, the characters' mixed motivations in the pursuit of the big story lead to flawed portrayals.

Digital Spy

Despite lacking the same ambition shown by the BBC journalists involved in this story, Scoop is a good enough recount of what happened and an opportunity to give credit where credit is due.
