The Wizard of Lies doesn't really shed much new light on its fact-based story, but thanks to solid direction and a talented cast, it still proves consistently watchable.

The Wizard of Lies is a movie with a terrible name and some mediocre aspects. But great central performances from two icons of the silver screen make it necessary watching. May 24, 2017 | Full Review…

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. Nov 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. Dec 19, 2017 | Full Review…
