thiago S @Thiagostone May 14, 2026 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more

Amanda B. @Amanda719 Nov 2, 2025 I really liked it. Thought it stayed true to the story- or at least the theory of what happened. Thought it was cast very well. See more

K S @UpstateTeacher Jan 8, 2025 Although some audience reviews pan the style of the performances or even the original story, we found both to be spot-on for the era. These years really were packed with scandalous stories about the rich and famous. The time wasn't called "the roaring 20s" for nothing, you know? It also helps to remember that Hurst and Davies were the center of CITIZEN KANE, as well. These people were that rich, that famous, and that able to escape comeuppance because of it. Which . . . kinda sounds like now, actually. Anyway, direction was great, costuming was glorious, and the script was bitingly sharp. Thumbs up! See more

Merrick S @RT51542740 Nov 23, 2024 Enjoyable romp aboard WR Hearst's fabulous yacht, a wild party with dance, affairs, business plots . . . and murder. Great cast--Edward Herrmann delivers a towering performance as Hearst, Eddie Izzard is a winsome Chaplin. Dunst sparkles. Joanne Lumley is superb in a small part. Very tasty, can't go wrong with this one. See more

david f @dfulmer May 30, 2022 Sometimes period films suffer from an overenthusiastic theatricality among the cast, I think particularly with these Roaring Twenties movies. This film is very dramatic and very melodramatic, and everyone's sort of hamming it up a lot. It was a bit much. Also, I wish they'd gotten someone more believable to play Charlie Chaplin. I did like some of the reflective and witty comments made about Hollywood and its culture and some of the theatricality wasn't off-putting but overall this was a stagey soap opera. See more

jon c Apr 13, 2022 It's the cats meow when stuck on a voyage involving a love triangle and murder Kirsten Dunst, Edward Herman, Eddie Izzard, Jennifer Tilly, and Cary Elwes directed by the late Peter Bogdanovich and based on Steven Pero's play of the same name Also inspired by the mysterious death of film mogul Thomas H. Ince that occurred on William Randolph Hearst's yacht during a weekend cruise celebrating Ince's birthday Taking place in 1924 with such old Hollywood faces like Charlie Chaplin and William Randolph Hearst On a yacht a murder took place with 14 passengers Only 1 witness was questioned out of the best known personalities in show business This is quite boring and not engaging The characters don't even attempt to have sparkling personalities No fun in the mystery and no spark in the script yet the costumes are commendable See more
