This is a very well made movie in spite of the fact that it omits relevant history, specifically the fact that Dalton Trumbo was intellectually inconsistent, rightly fighting for free speech for some, but collaborating with the government to squelch speech he didn't like.
Nevertheless, TRUMBO the film is a terrific indictment of McCarthyism and blacklisting that's, intentionally or unintentionally, relevant to our times. Some people today who foolishly support cancel culture could and should take a lesson from this film before they suffer under the next needlessly punitive fad.
