An extraordinarily powerful and emotional examination of greed, corruption and exploitation, well outside Scorsese's familiar New York stamping ground, but dealing with themes common to all his films. It is stunningly well designed and photographed, and features great performances from DiCaprio, De Niro, newcomer Gladstone and Jesse Plemons. The movie is long but needs to be in order to tell the whole story. Worth the 3 1/2 hours. It really does deserve all the hype, Lily Gladstone is so captivating. I am sad Leo didn't get an Oscar nod for this but happy Robert de Niro is being recognized for his amazing performance.

This artfully scripted and performed movie reveals an unknown dark side of American history. Performances by Lily Gladstone added an authenticity that swept me into the time and its events. DiCaprio was also flawless. If you are looking for light entertainment, this movie is not for you. If you are looking for a masterpiece that will stand the test of time, educate and elevate your perception. Go for it you won't regret it. This movie will tatoo your soul.

Oppenheimer is one of my top films of 2023. Brilliant performances from the cast, standouts include Cillian Murphy, RDJ, and Florence Pugh. Nolan’s masterful direction along with excellent practical effects make this film an instant classic. Ludwig Goransson’s soundtrack captures the scale and horror of the atomic bomb perfectly as film takes the audience through Oppenheimer's controversial and chaotic personal and professional life.

Who would ever think a movie about a Mattel doll would be so impactful? Yet here we are. Funny, great musical numbers, imaginative in every respect, and multi-faceted. Director Greta Gerwig is probably one of the only people who could have made this the strong showing, perhaps even great showing, that it is.
