Dreyfuss somehow refrains from chewing the scenery, though the script at times would have him leaving only flecks of drywall.
February 02, 2016
The miniseries that is constructed around [Dreyfuss], though, is flat and simplistic, with none of the intelligence and intrigue that has elevated other stories set in high finance, Billions and The Big Short.
February 03, 2016
I'm not sure how much is invented in the script, but one thing is clear: Dreyfuss turns out to be the real magician in making a film with so much financial detail so often entertaining.
February 03, 2016
The film is otherwise unremarkable, really, but because Dreyfuss is given an exceptional tool with which to pound the sincerity of his remorselessness, it elevates what could be facile villainy to something more indelible.
February 03, 2016
Madoff feels like a network-TV attempt at something much darker and deeper, but outside of its charismatic leading man, there isn't much to recommend it.
February 03, 2016
Madoff succeeds where it counts, at least: it gets great stuff out of Dreyfuss, and from Danner, who gives Ruth a boozy tragicomedy that nicely offsets Madoff's wheezy villainy.
February 03, 2016
Hang in there with Madoff, and a surprisingly humane narrative awaits.
February 03, 2016
Neither particularly bad nor stellar, Madoff is a mildly entertaining, though far from impressive, miniseries with oversimplified depictions of white-collar thieves, bumbling to the point of cartoonish financial analysts, and fraud run rampant.
