🔜The Insider🔜
Twenty years after their notorious tabloid romance gripped the nation, a married couple buckles under the pressure when an actress arrives to do research for a film about their past.
Gotta give credit to the Riverdale boy Charles Melton as I think he gave the best performance here. His body language and delivery of this dialogue really encapsulated of someone with stolen childhood innocence. Following Natalie Portman’s fantastic performance as Elizabeth Berry as she uncovers this relationship is very exciting and interesting. Her letter monologue is brilliant. Todd Haynes kills it with this film.

This is probably the most Fincher film that Fincher has ever done. I feel like this is Fincher if he was a sociopathic contract killer. Everything about this film is meticulous from the character itself to the filmmaking. Which obviously results in a damn good film. David Fincher’s direction has never been less than good and…

Scorsese does it again, crafting a beautiful and compelling film based on horrific true events that needed to be told. Robert De Niro plays the major asshole here as William Hale. Definitely one of his most hated roles he’s done. Leonardo DiCaprio plays…
