THE NASHVILLE I The most unsuspectingly amazing movie you may see from the 2000's. The genius of Soderbergh, combined with incredible power from Roberts & Finney creates a movie you can't help but binge, and you just can't put your finger on why. The show does a great job not beating you over the head with corporate wrong doing...but instead finds a way to electrify the most interesting parts of Brockovich with some genuine warmth and likeability from Finney's character. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/11/25 Full Review Luisana S Erin Brockovich is based on the true story of a woman who courageously exposed Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) for knowingly contaminating the water supply in Hinkley, California. The film highlights Brockovich’s fight against a powerful corporation while also offering a glimpse into her personal struggles. Throughout the story, she faces numerous challenges—financial hardship, single parenthood, and constant doubt from those around her. Often judged for her appearance and fiery personality, many dismissed her as overly emotional or unqualified. However, beneath the surface was a determined and intelligent woman who simply wanted to be heard. Though her looks initially caused others to underestimate her, Brockovich used her confidence and charisma to her advantage. The film does more than just portray her life; it showcases the strength, resilience, and unwavering determination that drove her to make a real difference. Erin Brockovich is ultimately an inspiring story of perseverance and courage. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/10/25 Full Review Cue d A serious must watch. The real life story of Erin Brockovich is inspirational and should serve as a warning to everyone that people need support to provide checks on unchecked corporate power Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/23/25 Full Review Roberto T This, not Pretty Woman, is the performance of hers you should watch if you only see one of her movies. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/26/25 Full Review Rob A An excellent legal drama based on the true story that I've seen multiple times. The all-star cast (Roberts, Finney and Eckhart) doesn't hurt either. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/26/25 Full Review Audience Member I gotta say 25 years later this movie kicks so much butt Still one of Julia Roberts’ best roles and it made her an Oscar winner It’s actually one of Steven Soderberg’s earliest works thanks to accidental networking Roberts plays the real-life figure Erin who became a local hero for Hinkley, California after winning a nine figure settlement She’s divorced with 3 children, looking for a job, and has very little in her bank account Then she gets work at a paralegal firm and stumbles upon some files showing unusual evidence of medical issues of patients, real estate values, next to contaminated water treatment by companies specifically PG&E leaking toxic chemicals causing cancer, mutated cells, and respiratory problems The film becomes a modern day legal drama of David & Goliath as it were Erin Brockovich is tough as nails and hardcore using her sarcasm and honesty to the best of her ability Using her determination and struggle to help the townsfolk against a corrupt water company killing citizens is a force to be reckoned with A tough employee, a dedicated mother, and a stong advocate for the people pursuing justice fighting the system Not only does her character find the flaws in problems but also in people for the most part finally having a voice when she enters a room unlike before in her life it's kinda cool to see a young Aaron Eckhart too before his 'Two-Face' role, a kind scoundrel with a heart that adds to Erin’s personal life but also balances it along with her career ambition Albert Finney is a great supporting lead as well as her boss Ed I love the acting, the story, the subtle humor, the lighting, and the fresh energy This is the best of the early 2000's Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/18/25 Full Review Read all reviews
