fabulous darling.

Rating: 10/10 (23 January 2005)

I took a huge risk and saw the film with a man who is far more into Fellini and Bergmann than in mainstream Hollywood. However we both enjoyed it and the time just flew, unlike the Spruce Goose. Leo has matured so much as an actor and considering he was in almost every scene it was a big job for him but he embraced it from start to finish. Cate Blanchett as Katherine Hepburn was greatly believable and really showed her conflicts and insecurities. Leo, Cate and Martin Scorsese all deserve top prize for this compelling film that just gave us a glimpse into the character of Hughes.
I got on the internet and read up on the wildly eccentric and quite mentally ill recluse. His connections with the Republican party, the CIA and so much more could only be done in a biography of 3 days or at least a trilogy. A definite "must see again" film.
