 Perfect 103 Points 2010
Wick – with 66 Trust Points – rated it Perfect

Old media trumps new in The Social Network, in which dirty-sexy-money fuels a splendid drama about the elitists behind Facebook’s insanely great success. Boy billionaire Mark Zuckerberg, his erstwhile Harvard cronies and business Svengali come vividly to life under the direction of sordid mast…

Wick – with 66 Trust Points – rated it Great

Tesla stands alone: the most mystical, the most gifted, the most freaky of the great industrial magnates, e.g., Edison, Westinghouse & J.P. Morgan, who also appear in this biopic of the Serbian-American inventor. From Zagreb, it presents as a bizarre movie where people’s mouths don’t match what’…

Great – if sadly flawed – exploration of the early California oil industry, dramatized through the exploits of an entrepreneurial ogre. A Chinatown for Oil, the movie serves as fascinating Golden State period piece and socialist screed, decrying the imagined crimes of tycoons as it celebrates …

Surprisingly strong biopic of Steve Jobs & Bill Gates, circa late 90s, when Gates was the more prominent of the two. Now that the legend of Jobs has eclipsed that of Gates, the story has new resonance.

The movie portrays each entrepreneur’s unsavory sides, especially that of Jobs, who is show…

Tucker
 Very Good 66 Points 1988
Wick – with 66 Trust Points – rated it Very Good

A richly stylized biopic of larger-than-life automotive entrepreneur Preston Tucker, this Francis Ford Coppola movie revels in 1940’s period trappings as much as in its story. Self-consciously retro, nearly surreal, its characters exist just this side of parody. Still, supercharged perkiness li…

Coco Before Chanel
 Very Good 66 Points 2009
Wick – with 66 Trust Points – rated it Very Good

Coco Before Chanel is a well mounted biopic of iconic fashion queen Coco Chanel.

This simply fashioned, handsome movie reveals her humble origins & early successes. Hmm.
Simple & revealing brings to mind – why yes – the Chanel design aesthetic. The movie suits its subject.
