Reviews
“The Comey Rule, starring Jeff Daniels and Brendan Gleeson, offers a devastating portrayal of a president just weeks before he seeks re-election.”
The Guardian
“The Comey Rule is an occasionally artful and eventually absorbing dramatic re-enactment of former FBI director James B. Comey’s unfortunate and, by his account, unavoidable role in two permanently upsetting events.”
The Washington Post
“There’s a dizzying assault of characters and national-security-rocking incidents, but it all hums with the energy of a well-oiled political drama.”
Rolling Stone
“There’s nevertheless something useful about seeing the dry pages of non-fiction brought to life, in a production that’s hardly flawless but whose stellar casting represents showboating in the best TV sense.”
