Moneyball- The movie rests primarily on the performance of the two main leads- Brad Pitt and jonah hill. Beane is the big talented guy still frustrated by never making it to the top; Brand is the smartest guy in the room who has always been too inconspicuous for anyone to notice.Hill's deadpan demeanor contrasts beautifully with Pitt's passion, and the film is completely enjoyable when they share the screen.When they dont the movie seems to drift. Take for example the overtly extensive flashback shots of beane's career.

The Banishment. Great. Somehow felt betrayed by the ending, but I think it's my problem and not the film's. A bit too much of biblical references. Another one to be re-watched and read.
What atmosphere. What tension. What cinematography. Marvelous.

Certainly his weakest film (& yet one of the strongest among his contemporaries), do watch The Return (his masterpiece) & Elena!

Halfway thorough the movie wife told me that there is a malayalam movie with the same story, Gulumaal the escape, they have not given any credit to this argentina movie....
Terrific actor, the conned man. He also starred in the director (RIP)'s second & final film, The Aura, which I seem to prefer for the tonal qualities & aura of the woods. There's a much more subtle twist with more louder implications in The Aura.

"Before the devil.."
Albert Finney was my favorite. But Hoffman, Marisa Tomei (who lets her whole body act, again), Shannon, everyone pretty great.
But other than that, did anyone feel Lumet got exposed by multi-angled gimmickry (it didn't service much).
I found WA's "Cassandra's dream" (similar subject of filial tragedy) to be just as flawed, but for entirely different reasons.
If I were to revisit, I'd probably avoid latter more for Philip Glass score alone.

I liked "The Secret in their eyes" for that brilliant stadium scene (although that the scene did feel like a sharp noise to tone of rest of the film). And they (this guy & the actress) really conveyed a lot in their eyes, didn't they.
