Rating: 10/10 (4 April 2016)

Howard Hughes was one of the first Hollywood major directors and this story tells it greatly. Martin Scorcese's masterful direction and years of experience pay off because this movie is directed greatly from the grand sweeps of cinematography to small shots of people at tables. Leonardo DiCapreo plays this legendary director with the nuance of his mannerism to his overarching larger than life presence. The writing is smart and intelligent and gets to the point when it needs to and pass along the story with a stable brisk pace. All the supporting cast helps to put order when Howard Hughes more awkward mannerisms take over the story. Kate Blanchet has excellent chemistry with the lead and the two work of each other well. Everything comes together to make an exciting and odd true story of an unusual filmmaker, aviator, and person.
