Runtime- 145 min
dir. Richard Attenborough
This one has been on my imaginary “To watch:” list since I first got Netflix. Definitely worth getting around to.
Story/Writing: 1.5/2
Not too much to be said here. A fairly accurate biopic about one of the most well-known men from Hollywood.
Acting: 2/2
A ton of star power here with Robert Downey Jr. in the title role. The whole cast definitely tries their hardest to bring this story to life.
Photography/Set: 2/2
Gorgeous and varied setpieces captured in a sweeping style. The cuts keep up wih the emotion of the plot perfectly.
Sound/FX: 2/2
A lot of work was put into capturing the “look” of the different periods throughout the picture. There was also a lot of filter stylings put in a well, to give it that historical feeling.
Misc: 2/2
Really, really good.
VERDICT: 9.5/10
About as close to perfect as you can get.
