What Wizard of Lies lacks in terms of a broader historical span is compensated for by telling Madoff's tale as a classical tragedy about hubris and human cost - only in this case we watch as the villain's wife and children take the brunt of the toll. May 22, 2017 | Full Review…

It's a film that heads down an interesting path with incredibly talented people, only to fail to go the extra mile in exploring these characters. November 3, 2018 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

[Robert] De Niro's interpretation of this greed-driven, grandiose villain is not sympathetic; it's intimate and unforgiving, and makes Madoff a more frustrating figure than ever. December 19, 2017 | Full Review…
