The 50 Year Argument

Watch Trailer
2014 · 95 min Documentary
6.6 / 10 · TMDB

Follows the waves of literary, political, and cultural history as charted by the The New York Review of Books, America’s leading journal of ideas for over 50 years. Provocative, idiosyncratic and incendiary, the film weaves rarely seen archival material, contributor interviews, excerpts from writings by such icons as James Baldwin, Gore Vidal, and Joan Didion along with original verité footage filmed in the Review’s West Village offices.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The 50 Year Argument has mixed reviews with a rating of 6.6/10. Good for a relaxed evening without high expectations.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A 2014 film from an era before CGI overload, with real performances that still hit hard. Best for: viewers looking to try something new without being too demanding.
