Phil Spector

En la mayoría de los casos, ocurre que los nombres resonantes se suman y multiplican entre sí, y luego se produce una evaluación muy fuerte. En el caso de Phil Spector, Al Pacino, Barry Levinson, David Mamet y Helen Mirren se restaron mutuamente y quedó una estrella por las pelucas de Al Pacino y las divertidas actuaciones de Jeffrey Tambor (simplemente me resulta gracioso cada vez que actúa en Entourage). No entiendo en absoluto lo que David Mamet quería transmitirnos con esto. Reconozco sus obras de teatro, pero realmente Phil Spector no salió bien. (28.12.2014)

The purpose of this film isn’t to like its main characters, because that certainly won’t happen, but it demonstrates the acting skills of Al Pacino and Helen Mirren. And that’s about it. (04.11.2016)

A new (or relatively new) film, and when watching it, it occurred to me from start to finish how unreservedly great an actor Al Pacino is, and what a joy it is to watch him, and we haven’t seen this for a long time. The last time perhaps was in 2010, when You Don't Know Jack came into being. Maybe it's a coincidence that both films were made by HBO, maybe not. Anyway, Pacino also found himself in Phil Spector, showing off something unreal and once again having perfect teammates with Helen Mirren in the lead. The script, using ingeniously written monologues and dialogues, leaves the viewer balancing in doubt the same time as Spector's defense lawyer, only to not explain anything in the ending and letting us decide on our own whether he has reasonable suspicion or not, and what he actually believes (or wants to believe).
