"A Fragile Trust" lays it all out, sometimes in manipulative ways, but always with clarity, so that you understand what happened and how it happened.
Lightness of touch is missing from the film, which features animated graphics and an ominous score.
Director Samantha Grant chronicles an ignominious but fascinating chapter in modern journalism in this solid doc.
On the most basic level, [Grant] tells a clear and thorough story about the most damaging plagiarism scandal in the history of America's flagship newspaper, and about the ambiguous and troubled individual who sparked it.
It's a swift, vivid movie, but 10 years past the scandal, not much is new.
While mostly well made, and certain to serve as a handy précis for the J-school set, A Fragile Trust is more a soiling reminder than a revelation for anyone already familiar with Blair's case.
