Ryan McNeil 🌟’s review published on Letterboxd:
As Bachmann, Phillip Seymour Hoffman does a lot of things depending on what is required to complete his mission. At times he plays father figure, at times he plays confidant. Sometimes he shows chilling precision, sometimes he shows weakness for vices. He is so many things to so many people, and in that we see not only what makes Bachmann so good at what he does, but also what made Hoffman so good at what he did.
Bachmann is the sort of person who must be able to command any room he is in, but also blend into a crowd. Usually, one is able to do one or the other, but not both. Hoffman finds ways to be both sides of this coin, and usually without so much as raising his voice. He is able to seem wildly intimidating, and horribly overmatched depending on the moment. In many ways, this role is a fitting swan song for his talent, and a splendid exhibit of why he’ll be so missed...
