Based on the Lee Israel's true illegal activity of forging letters from deceased writers, and her subsequent novel, it's a nice depiction of the events, with a very good cast and a decent screenplay. Mark: 7
"Exercise of style" is often a pretty abused expression to indicate a movie (or else) that is a sort of showoff of the director: in this case, unfortunately, it's totally appropriate. It's not a failure (Silvio Orlando's performance is monumental and the visual aspect is awesome), but Sorrentino's approach, in my opinion, has undertaken an insubstantial direction. Mark: 6.5 / 10
One of the most awaited Halloween releases of all time, it's a pretty long and somewhat boring adaptation of the Broadway musical. The mise-en-scène is impeccable and the cast is great. It's not enough, though. Mark: 6.5 / 10
Pretentious. Overly theatrical. Unfocused. I'm not a fan of this (inexplicably praised) extremely long story about this (invented) Hungarian architect seeking for inner and professional recognition. And, frankly, both Brody and Jones have delivered better performances. Mark: 5.5 / 10
