The chickens of gilded-era capitalism come to roost in as many configurations as are possible.
Just how soap-operatic are Soderbergh and writers Jack Amiel and Michael Begler willing to go?
Visually, the episode’s centerpiece is the Knick’s much-alluded-to charity ball, played at once as a sprawling comedy of manners and a jawdropping pictorial spectacle.
The Knick’s second season has seen Soderbergh turn his camera on different strains of pedagogy afforded by the turn-of-the-century milieu.
It’s hard to avoid feeling like the same issues of dramatic proportion and temporal flow that dogged the first season remain.
One of the most exciting new shows on television, and HBO’s Blu-ray captures its exceptional visual and audio design with near-perfection.
The Knick remains one hell of a panoramic contraption, and Clive Owen’s starring turn as Dr. John Thackery is one of the show’s major draws.
Any goodwill the film boasts is terminally suppressed, buried beneath a layer of bullshit as thick as blubber.
PETA members may take to The Shaggy Dog.
As long as Cosmo girls exist, so will films like Raising Helen.
The film exists in a fantasy New York City no one has ever seen before.
Don’t be fooled by The Prince & Me’s questionable marketing campaign.
