    I’m stuck in this shithole, and I’m gonne deal with it, okay? It’s just how life is. I’m gonna try and accept it, and get on with it, and make some art.

Real sexy and real taut. Soderbergh and David Koepp do not lose any juice for one second here. 

    Between Presence and Black Bag, two uniquely riveting cinematic offerings, Steven Soderbergh is the MVP of Q1 2025 and remains one of our most engaging filmmakers.
