Atom User Reviews for Vice
Completely disjointed and way to left leaning
This movie shines a bright light on how America became the country it is now. At times it is unsettling and hard to watch but that is the truth and it must be addressed. Bale brings his A game and will get his Oscar nomination. It’s gripping and full of history for those who love American politics and history
Great work by the directorial team. Awesome cast, everyone has a great grasp on their respective characters. it'll wake you up. and if you're already awake, it'll give you a nudge out of the door.
hilarious and scary all at the same time. No one person should have that much power.
Interesting to learn, Reagan & George HW helped set in motion this slanted news we see today (https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/what-lead-to-the-demise-of-respectful-political-discourse_us_58b33175e4b0658fc20f96f6 ). The movie also got right how we ended up in Iraq. Not to say that the movie is all based on fact and clearly it doesn't proclaim to do so. Yet it manages to add some humor into what could've been a dry topic. If anything it should cause one to investigate how we got where we are in politics today.
i walked out. not a republican, but found tis movie to be unbearable. so biased. so unclever. what was the point?
No real surprises but I clearly understand why people want new young people in in positions of influence and power. Corruption is everywhere that Big money is.
left wing propaganda
Casting was great but the movie made no sense.
Total Liberal folly. Boring.
really funny and creative!
Pretty good! Better to rent though. It drags a bit bit the acting is great
knowledge is always illuminating
Great cast, weird movie
A typical human justification of do whatever war crime and get away with it if you are in politics. I wonder why it has such high critic rating. Never trust rating.
it's a challenging story to present. they did a great job.
Really well done and clever. Fascinating storytelling. bale is amazing
This disjointed statistical film is so bias you'll feel like Dinesh D'Souza is playing for the Democrats.
the scripted was all over the place not focus on a scene and too long to get to the point.
Not sure what I expected but wish it wasn’t so desperately biased. I think the story could’ve been told without the redundant jabs.
If you hated the man before the movie you’re really gonna hate him. The cast is superb, Christian Bale stellar, Amy Adams great. Steve Carrell excellent, and Dana Carvey very good. You will get a education.
great representation of the devil him self!!! Darth Vader could not have done a better job!
too biased missed a lot of facts
Great film - MAGAts will hate it because it shows how their wall of lies has become standard operating practice for their beloved candidates.
This was one of, it not the, worst movies I've seen this year (I've seen a lot and the year is almost over). I had to fight to keep myself awake for most of it and once was woken up by a bomb going off in the movie. It had a great cast of people, but it was very slow and boring to say the best.
True political crap at its best. Good thing I had a coupon and free fee - wasn’t worth it to me. All about a pompous idiot!!
For a fictional story, it wasn’t bad. They even admitted the made a whole bunch of it up.
good! great acting! agree that there were some slow parts. not a revelation if you have bothered to read anything other than social media the last decade. left leaning but that was expected. remember: it's a movie!
An entertaining piece of historical fiction.
SAVE YOUR TIME AND MONEY FOR ANOTHER MOVIE
it dragged frequently and jumped around too much. mostly info that is known
great actors, decent story. way too left leaning. but certainly didn't bash the right. truthful to how Republicans think, which made me realize I'm more Republican than Democrat and made me hate the left that much more.
best of film of the year
Liberal
The only seats this app showed available were close to the front. When we arrived, there were open seats everywhere and we were stuck in the very front. Clearly the app was wrong and we ended up with bad seats
Terrible bore
Left wing agenda movie.
I'm a sucker for George Bush impersonations and Sam Rockwell -this movie had both. bale did outstanding job. mildly humorous
Tonal and Editing Issues make a compelling story seem like a dumpster fire.
Hated the movie. Poorly orchestrated political statement. While I agree with the politics, the entertainment value was sorely lacking.
Christian Bale and Sam Rockwell are amazing! Definitely oscar noms. I learned a lot of what was going on that time. I know reps say it's too far left, but you can't argue with facts.
typical slanted view from left-leaning partisan know it alls. GREAT acting saves this film from an otherwise abysmal take on an era of American governance that was anything but partisan.
Bale did a great job✅, politics has nothing to do with gay/lesbian issues. Its all about money/ power/ i scratch your back if you scratch my back( not a total loyalty) how to benefit their own egos. Most republicans in power use religious views/ human emotions for their own benefit( they really don’t care who sleeps with whom). Its all about 💰🛢💰💵
interesting slant on great men in tough times
started out ok, great cast, good acting but slow slow slow
disturbingly entertaining, I'm sure my wife will love...or hate it, hard to tell sometimes! Great movie tho!
It brought back memories!
Power is truly a drug for some. It's amazing how far someone will go to justify the means for acquiring it....
Def gonna leave some running home to do some fact checks, but overall this movie was VERY WELL executed!
Stay until the end
Metacritic
It is a head-spinning shock-and-awe satire that comes in hot then cranks up the thermostat to infernal – a Molotov cocktail of biopic, documentary and black comedy, with a thrillingly short fuse.
Dazzling.
In Vice, the writer-director is tossing grenades every which way — it’s a movie that’s ferociously funny one minute, bleakly sorrowful the next.
