Review of Owning Mahowny (2003) by Sarfaraz A — 06 Feb 2014
A small movie with a great big performance by Phillip Seymour Hoffman, who approaches the role with the perfect amount of composure and intensity. The framing scenes of Mahowny's marriage, arguably the heart of the film, allow for some finely understated acting from both Hoffman and Minnie Driver.
It may lack "flash and glamour", but if that's what you're looking for then watch Martin Scorsese's Casino.
