trevor a 35mm at the Paris theater! Spectacular showing Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/30/24 Full Review Garrett B Why did I like this film Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/12/24 Full Review Isa B This film is amazing! The opening shot is a near 3 minute tracking shot that would rival any in the career of the great Martin Scorsese. When I think of great, long shots in well-known motion pictures, I think Orson Welles in Touch of Evil or Robert Altman in The Player or any number of shots taken by Martin Scorsese. Goodfellas and Killers of the Flower Moon come to mind, but this opening shot, stands with any of them. What a way to begin a film. Paul Thomas Anderson had a vision and seemingly exacted that vision with Boogie Nights. Mark Wahlberg was outstanding, as was the entire cast. Burt Reynolds, Julianne Moore, Don Cheadle, William H. Macy, John C. Reilly, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Philip Baker Hall & Luis Guzmán were all truly incredible. I could spend an hour discussing how great each individual performance was in this picture. The camera work is remarkable. I love the underwater shots at the pool party. The long shots always give a film that special, cinematic feel. This film is an absolute masterpiece. A perfect motion picture by Paul Thomas Anderson. I highly recommend. 100/100 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/05/24 Full Review Jesse A One of the greatest movies ever made. The cast, the cinematography, the writing, everything in this film is a A+. This movie is a drama by nature, but finds a way to be so funny, and also has some of the most suspenseful scenes that any thriller movie would be jealous of. Mark Wahlberg gives a career performance as Eddy Adams from Torrance, CA, who because of his...size, becomes an overnight sensation in the 1970s adult film industry becoming known as Dirk Diggler. We see Dirk become apart of a family of adult film makers and enjoy the success of fame. But in a true Icarus story, Dirk flies too close to the sun, and falls terribly. We see the supporting characters all battle society's stereotypes of sex workers and how they are treated. Don Cheatle gives a career best performance in this movie as well, showing the rise and fall of his own character. The cast is rounded out by stellar performances by Burt Reynolds, Julianne Moore, Heather Graham, Philip Seymour-Hoffman and John C. Reilly. This film is a classic and should be viewed as such. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/03/24 Full Review Sams K It's a shame how underrated is this. Great movie! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/27/24 Full Review Wayne B An absolute triumph. Loosely based on the life of porn star John C Holmes. The main character has a similar troubled path and shows his existence in and out of the industry. The troubled lives of the actors, directors and producers is very believable because this has all loosely happened. Just nailed it.
