    ★★★★

    Captures the palace intrigue of Catholic priests, who live for gossip and petty rivalries in the service of god, perfectly.

    ★★★

    I saw the Broadway play about a month and a half before the movie came out, and as a theater-adjacent kid (tech crew rise up) there was absolutely nothing that surprised me, but that’s what I expected.

    Really, the only thing I have to say about this movie is that I enjoyed it aside from the color grade and it’s always interesting to see whatever the ‘industry best practices’ are at any given time on these big tentpole releases.

    The Firm if everyone was an idiot. 

    A great portrayal of what happens when hubris ≠ intelligence. I love how in Mark’s head this movie is, right down to the musical stings (Marvin Hamlisch!!!!).

    Mark thinking he is James Bond is phenomenon that I have witnessed several clients display in my own life, and they nailed how completely flaccid it actually comes across as.

    Like others have said, probably the best unreliable narrator story put to screen. Soderberg leaning on…
