Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/01/25 Full Review Mason M Leaving Las Vegas was a powerful character study that is wonderfully written and directed. Nicolas Cage and Elizabeth Shue both give great performances in their respective roles and add a lot of heart to their characters that could've been shallow in another movie. Mike Figgis's various roles in the film are the real highlight though. His direction was very good and his various unique filmmaking choices were great. One of the real highlights of the film was definitely his score though. His jazzy use of his music was a great accompaniment to the film and was great to listen to. The way the film depicts Las Vegas was definitely one of the highlights of the film. It really captures both the bright and colorful lights and the plain aspects of other parts. Leaving Las Vegas is ultimately very successful in its heartfelt depictions of its characters and their humanity. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/04/25 Full Review john h The novel adapted film by Mike Figgis can make you curious, intrigued, and sad at the same time. The sequences are unique, abetted with the skills of Cage who displays a vintage persona of a man with a self-destruction motto in his head. The black humor and sarcasm of Cage's character makes the film so authentic and genuine during the more serious scenes, breaking any possible stoicism present in the film. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/03/25 Full Review E B It is a *heavy* film for sure with some... disturbing scenes involving Sera's character. (I recommend looking into that before watching for sensitive viewers) The acting alone makes this film worth watching as Cage and Shue did a fantastic job. Cage really showed just how far alcoholism can destroy oneself. It is this role alone that I think proves that Cage does know what he is doing and far deserved he awards for his capability. Despite the praise I give this film, I don't feel it will be one I will revisit anytime soon due to its graphic content, but I do think it is worth watching once. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/22/25 Full Review Ted B 4.0 stars; The primary purpose of film is to tell a story. When the story is as sad and depressing as this one, it takes excellent acting to take the audience down that spiral. That's exactly what we got with this movie. Nicolas Cage (Academy Award for Best Actor) and Elizabeth Shue were superb. Nicolas Cage has never come close to this performance since in my opinion.
