   Is 'the conversation' a bad movie?

   • Summary Wiretapper Harry Caul (Gene Hackman) becomes concerned about recordings he made for a client. For much of The Conversation you think you’re watching a person unraveling, but then the horrifying ending—where the editing and sound design become really sinister—reveals that the movie has been deconstructing the audience as well.

   Was 'the conversation' a hit?

   • Arriving during a particularly fertile era for American film, The Conversation was not a hit, but it is one of the period’s most subtle and shattering features. Half a century later, it resounds as hauntingly as ever, not merely as a cautionary tale but as a searing portrait of where we are now.

   hesnotdrunk. Dec 12, 2023. A slow-moving character driven thriller drenched in paranoia, masterful sequences, sound design, and incredible performances. But the second act is quite a slog to sit through. It ultimately picks up with a great payoff, but even the jazz sequences with the sax feel awkward and forced.
