This film is Rocky meets Raging Bull... but over 20 years before either of them.
A well worthy breakthrough for Paul Newman. An amazing line up of the prolific director Robert Wise, the versatile writer Ernest Lehman, and inspirational cinematography of Joseph Ruttenberg.
This is the boxing biopic that started it all. Recommended!
Damn did I like this film...
Absence of Malice is just a long consequential look at bad journalism. This deep rabbit hole of legality and ethical questionability pulls up a lot of interesting notions about our legal system, our government proceedings, and journalism itself.
Though some of the character's morals or quick actions may be questionable, the acting is superb. Newman is fantastic as always, and Sally Fields gives a stable performance. But let's not forget Wilford Brimley. WILFORD BRIMLEY!…
No amount of words can express how happy I was after watching this film...
I've waited for this film since it was first announced that Damien Chazelle was making his next film. I loved Whiplash. And when I saw the first trailer to La La Land, I knew that I would love it too.
I mean the literal thought of the film could bring tears to my eyes. La La Land is such a me film. It's about Movies and…
Yes! Thank The Force, we did it! Yes, America, the free world, we've seen another great Star Wars Episode, and it's beautiful.
J.J. Abrams, you were my modern influence... But now you are my Hero. (':
May the Force bless your soul...
I need to see this film at least three more times in the theater (IMAX).
