Can totally understand why people find this boring but I find the way this slowly reveals the depths of its protagonist’s moral bankruptcy to be genuinely compelling. GDT is a technical wizard and every shot is so perfectly calibrated that it’s hard not to be engaged (the digital look didn’t bother me at all). I think both halves of this film are really strong; the aimlessness and intrigue of the first half caught my interest immediately and the more focused…
Did the math and, according to my calculations, this is a Christmas movie.
Offensively uninteresting. The strongest element here is the ensemble, but even though every cast member understood the assignment, every cast member seems to have understood a different assignment. What results is an overlong, tone-deaf slog through the lives of these individuals and the success of this company filled with excessive wealth porn and aggressive Italian accents that never actually achieve the intended effect, whether that be comedic or dramatic. Despite strong work from Gaga, Driver, and Leto, this is a complete failure.
