Movie Reviews

The Young Folks - 9/10 by Anna KopcoOverall, this well-shot, well-cast and well-written adaptation is as captivating as it is frustrating.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Lorraine AliAs Ruth, Pfeiffer convincingly portrays a pampered woman left with utterly nothing - she's lost her homes, status and, most important, her relationship with her sons.
Washington Post - 8/10 by Hank StueverThe decision by Wizard's three credited screenwriters to open the film with the prison interview (and essentially tell the whole saga as a progressive flashback) feels like a structural mistake that can't be repaired.
TV Insider - 8/10 by Matt RoushThis stark account of a family's downfall has the wrenching power of an Arthur Miller classic.
Boston Herald - 8/10 by Mark A. PerigardWhen Bernie finally asks whether an attentive reporter thinks he's a sociopath, there's no need for an answer. The film has already clobbered you over the head with the obvious.
Flavorwire - 8/10 by Jason BaileyA team-up of talents like this would've been a big, splashy theatrical release not too long ago. The multiplex's loss is HBO's gain.
AwardsCircuit.com - 8/10 by Christopher JamesIt's a film that heads down an interesting path with incredibly talented people, only to fail to go the extra mile in exploring these characters.
Blu-ray.com - 8/10 by Brian Orndorf"Lies" certainly isn't a cinematic shoulder rub, with director Barry Levinson attempting to understand the psychological and technical details of the scheme.
RogerEbert.com - 8/10 by Brian TallericoThe 135-minute film suffers from being too long and sometimes bizarrely constructed, but it's the kind of solid true story we've come to expect from an HBO Original Film.
CNN.com - 8/10 by Brian LowryThe trappings of Wizard of Lies are, like Madoff's possessions, designed to impress. The movie, however, doesn't fare quite as well in getting to the root of his magic act, or how he was able for so long to keep his house of cards standing.
