Review of Michael Clayton (2007) by Glenn Kenny for Premiere — 20 Jul 2015
Michal Clayton shares a number of affinities with Paddy Chayefsky and Sidney Lumet's "Network." Wilkinson's got the so-mad-he's-sane Peter Finch position; while Swinton embodies a sexless, neurotic, overstressed variant of Faye Dunaway's character.
Which leaves Clooney as the (considerably younger) William Holden of the piece. And, yes, he makes the most of it.
