Ink paints Murdoch as a sympathetic pioneer in a Danny Boyle Venice drama

TL;DR Summary
Danny Boyle's high-energy drama Ink, opening at the Venice Film Festival, reimagines Rupert Murdoch's rise in UK media by focusing on The Sun's launch under editor Larry Lamb; critics debate whether the film soft-pedals Murdoch’s influence, with some calling it a 'toothless' portrait, while Boyle argues it shows the era's complexity and invites audiences to feel complicit in media's evolution.
