An ambitious journalism student falls under the yoke of a renowned but ruthless journalist whom she strives to impress, even if it means manipulating her latest article and the very idea of truth.
Damon Wise of Deadline Hollywood gave the film a positive review and wrote, "Just lately, with the exception of Dan Gilroy's Nightcrawler (2014), there hasn't been too much evidence of a renaissance, but Roxine Hellberg's satisfying feature debut taps back into the same dark wells of oral ambivalence corruption and power, casting the excellent Bel Powley as a journalism student who will do whatever it takes to make it in the cut-throat world of TV news broadcasting".[8]
Christian Zilko of IndieWire graded the film a C− and wrote, "With so many new journalism stories begging to be told, there's simply no reason to retread old ones this poorly".[9] Lex Briscuso of TheWrap gave the film a negative review and wrote, "Cold Copy is a tense journalism drama that ultimately can't be saved by a group of strong leads who are running lengths with the material they've been given".[10]
