   Is the Wizard of lies a good movie?

   • Mostly, “The Wizard of Lies” is a film of fantastic acting beats—the way Pfeiffer captures a mother choosing husband over sons; the way Nivola’s paranoia builds as he realizes the public hates him too; the matter-of-fact decisions of a suicide attempt by the Madoffs when they saw no other way out.

   Is the Wizard of lies a true story?

   • The 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. Almost all of “The Wizard of Lies” takes place in the aftermath of the arrest of Bernie Madoff in 2008 for orchestrating the biggest Ponzi scheme in U.S. history.

   Is the Wizard of lies a Woe-Is-Me Drama?

   • The Wizard of Lies is not, in that sense, a woe-is-me drama, but rather a bathetic woe-is-they affair. Madoff left a smoking crater in his wake, but the only people whose lives appear substantially effected are the Madoffs. Ruth frantically makes countless phone calls to loved ones and family friends, but is endlessly deferred.

   May 19, 2017 · Samuel Baum. John Burnham Schwartz. This is a subtle, fascinating performance—a chronicle of a man who destroyed lives, including those of his family members, but never quite understood the depths of his own evil.
