About
J. Edgar

Eastwood's intent is, as always,profound and his sensibility still comes through, but there's too much here that just doesn't breathe life, in which Eastwood's particular visual rythms and sense of contemplation don't seem to fully connect with the material. Tom Stern's disappointing cinematography - full of what seems a digital color correction overuse- doesn't help. It's a dignified failure from a master filmmaker.
