Review of Live by Night (2016) by Bilge Ebiri for Village Voice — 23 Dec 2016
Somewhere inside the 128-minute Live by Night is a reasonably solid 168-minute movie struggling to get out. No, that’s not a typo: You can sense the contours of an absorbing story as writer/director/star Ben Affleck’s slapdash and fragmented assemblage limps along.
Most of the pieces are there, but they remain pieces.
