The Monuments Men is, thus far, Clooney's biggest misfire as a director. Watching it is akin to looking at a particularly natty outfit on a mannequin; the style, look, and superficial feel of the film scream "high fashion," but at its core, its humanity is blank. The Monuments Men, based on the true story of international art experts who suited up ...
And now, I contradict myself! Leatherheads is a curiously bifurcated picture, a film that wears its retro, roarin' '20s, screwball comedy genre tropes with effective affection. And then, it folds the hell in on itself, nearly demanding we take it more seriously and reexamine everything we've experienced about it this far. And honestly? We don't, li...
Kudos to Clooney for making a film that doesn't feel like any of his other movies! Gone are the fascinations with "American culture" and "storytelling". Instead, Clooney has made himself a bonafide science fiction film, one that explicitly bounces between "space exploration" and "dystopian disaster" sub-genres, with the audacity to stage action, ev...
When it was first released in 2017, Suburbicon was lambasted. Folks dinged it for its clumsy stitching of two disparate stories, its obvious aping of the Coen Brothers (to be fair, it is partially a Coen Brothers script), and its mismarketing of what it actually is. I, thus, approached "what it actually is" with basement-level expectations. And wel...
Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Clooney's directorial debut, is a monster flex, an oddly experimental work, an audacious yielding of "style," and maybe most importantly, a clear indication of the topics and themes Clooney is interested in exploring as a filmmaker. It tells the "true story" of Chuck Barris (Sam Rockwell, mesmerizing), a prolific, i...
Released during the relatively optimistic period of Barack Obama's first term, a fact you can feel in the film's aping of Shepard Fairey's iconic piece of agitprop, The Ides of March has only sharpened in potency, in power, in disquieting relevance to our contemporary political landscape (watching this film during, say, a fraught presidential elect...
The only film of Clooney's directorial career thus far that's been nominated for an Oscar for Best Picture, and for good reason. Good Night, and Good Luck. takes all of Clooney's favored topics — American structures becoming weaponized, the fuzzy intersection between information and degrading entertainment, the decay and irrelevance of the old guar...
