    Taxi Driver

    ★★★★★

    This movie wasn’t an easy one to figure out. It took me time to really understand what it was saying, and the more I thought about it, the more I appreciated how brilliantly it was written. The creative minds behind this film created a gripping character study of isolation and obsession. Travis, a lonely Vietnam War veteran, drifts through life as a taxi driver in New York City.
