With noirish lighting and most of the running time spent inside offices or cramped domestic rooms, Eastwood keeps the film claustrophobic, sometimes unpleasantly intimate.

J Edgar Hoover, at least as presented here, was not a particularly interesting or likeable individual. It gets boring quickly.
November 11, 2011
Somehow J. Edgar manages to be both epic and empty.
May 26, 2013
DiCaprio never measures up to the task of creating a plausible interpretation of what enabled Hoover to be both heroic and maniacal.

Usually the tautest of directors, Clint Eastwood has gone all slack here, allowing his subject to get completely away from him.

Anyone smell an Oscar?

The Hoover material is ugly and very American, and it might have made an authentic monster story. But the picture offered is muddled, cautious, and at cross purposes.
April 13, 2016
A large, self-important, incident-by-incident biopic crammed with luxuriant period detail, laden with old-age make-up and powered by meticulous but riskless acting.

Although Hoover's luster faded as his career went on, Eastwood's movie seems wan from the start.

It's a deeply silly movie. American history as kitsch, played out like a drag show.
January 17, 2012
A pleasing, intelligent film happy to describe Hoover's behaviour as monstrous but too balanced and searching to damn him as a monster.

Here's that J. Edgar Hoover biopic you asked for, or at least something that meets all the technical requirements to be considered one.
