Faiz D One of the most amazing films I've watched. Leonardo gave a 'Powerhouse' performance! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/13/25 Full Review R Carl L The movie tells an amazing story of an amazing man. There is just so much story, of all his exploits in film and aviation. The shots of the Hells Angels movie and other aerial footage are simply stunning. But, maybe they should have focused on just one part of his life. It would make a hell of a miniseries! Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/30/25 Full Review Miles O Definitely a good film, just a bit too long for what it needed to be. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/02/25 Full Review Ishara L Martin Scorscese has a knack for picking out figures or events in history that feature characters that live off the beaten track. It's like he's drawn to them. He gets obsessed by them and that is clearly seen in this biopic of an extravagant man. Now, I do not know a lot about Hughes' history, enough to know the broad lines, but I know the man suffered from OCD. That is brilliantly depicted by DiCaprio, known for expertly playing characters that didn't get all the pieces of the puzzle. Worthy of the Oscar nomination. Cate Blanchett as Hepburn, I don't know, I am in the middle about her. She was convincingly not herself, and if Hepburn was like that in real life, I do not like her personality. A real standout was Allan Alda, excellent as the governor, trying to keep up his front and leave the backroom deals in the backroom. Which is where the movie loses a star for me, it hovers around the character of Howard Hughes too long and too lingeringly, while in the backgroud an excellent political/executive story of corruption is playing out. I find a better balance between those two and a shorter runtime would have benefitted my enjoyment of it more. That said, it is excellent, excuisite filmmaking from an amazing director. Just not his best. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/05/25 Full Review Marit Risto F So much pain. But great anyway. Blanchette and Di Caprio can be an irresistible combination Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/30/24 Full Review Fabrícia F Neste drama envolvente, Leonardo DiCaprio dá tudo de si e mais um pouco para retratar um magnata da aviação delirante e perfeccionista.
