The Laundromat (2019)

October 27, 2019October 24, 2019 ~ idrawonmywall ~ Leave a comment

Directed by Steven Soderbergh I don't know, I liked The Laundromat.  It's hard to know what the overall consensus is on a movie, but from what I've been hearing people are quite disappointed with this movie. Maybe it's because it does feel stylistically like a copy of The Big Short or Vice or simply that this being a … Continue reading The Laundromat (2019)

Traffic (2000)

February 16, 2019February 16, 2019 ~ idrawonmywall ~ Leave a comment

Directed by Steven Soderbergh Traffic is Steven Soderbergh's sprawling epic about drugs, covering the people who sell it, consume it and who try to stop it.  The film features an ensemble cast that in some instances never connect.  It is the drug trafficking vision of The Longest Day (1962), the massive war film about the D-Day … Continue reading Traffic (2000)

Unsane (2018)

September 28, 2018September 24, 2018 ~ idrawonmywall ~ Leave a comment

Directed by Steven Soderbergh Unsane is a pulpy little thriller shot on iPhone and with strong thematic connections to the "MeToo" movement.  It begins as a story about mental health, but as many of Sawyer's (Claire Foy) fears are realized, the subtext and the conversation transforms before our eyes. Sawyer has a mysterious past, something … Continue reading Unsane (2018)

Solaris (2002)

May 13, 2018April 21, 2018 ~ idrawonmywall ~ Leave a comment

Directed by Steven Soderbergh Solaris is a remake of the Andrei Tarkovsky film of the same name.  Like the original it is a philosophical science-fiction story that takes its time and might put off certain viewers who want Alien more than they're looking for the final thirty minutes of 2001: A Space Odyssey. The story follows psychologist … Continue reading Solaris (2002)

The Limey (1999)

May 11, 2018April 17, 2018 ~ idrawonmywall ~ Leave a comment

Directed by Steven Soderbergh The Limey has the feel of an old French film from the 1960s, something like Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless, Francois Truffaut's Shoot the Piano Player or Louis Malle's Elevator to the Gallows.  What I remember most about those films is the gun, the non-conventional editing and an ending that doesn't always offer you what you want … Continue reading The Limey (1999)

The Informant! (2009)

May 9, 2018April 16, 2018 ~ idrawonmywall ~ Leave a comment

Directed by Steven Soderbergh The Informant! is a prime example of an unreliable narrator.  I mean, that goes without saying.  Mark Whitacre (Matt Damon) lies about everything over the course of this story.  He lies to the company for whom he works, ADM, he lies to the FBI, and by the end of the film we … Continue reading The Informant! (2009)

Contagion (2011)

May 6, 2018April 13, 2018 ~ idrawonmywall ~ Leave a comment

Directed by Steven Soderbergh Contagion is an attempt at deadly realism, tracking a disease with about a 25% mortality rate over the course of a few months and through several different continents.  The film jumps between countries and characters, tracking those affected and those responsible for coming up with a cure to a virus which … Continue reading Contagion (2011)
