Magic Mike (2012)

  • Soderbergh, Steven
  • 2012, Steven Soderbergh, USA
  • Leave a comment

Soderbergh’s take on the strip show dazzles with sights and sounds, but his film lacks dramatic substance.

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 2.5 out of 5.

Haywire (2011)

  • Soderbergh, Steven
  • 2011, Ireland, Steven Soderbergh, USA
  • 1 Comment

Soderbergh flaunts his technical ability in this rather mainstream endeavor, but style over substance makes the film far from the best of its genre. 

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Contagion (2011)

  • Soderbergh, Steven
  • 2011, Steven Soderbergh, USA
  • 2 Comments

One of the most realistic movies about a global pandemic outbreak, though Soderbergh’s film suffers from a rather lacklustre pacing and underdeveloped characters.

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Informant!, The (2009)

  • Soderbergh, Steven
  • 2009, Steven Soderbergh, USA
  • Leave a comment

Based on an incredulous true story, this easy-going and quirky effort by Soderbergh starring a delightful Matt Damon, should leave a smile on your face.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Traffic (2000)

  • Criterion Collection, Soderbergh, Steven
  • 2000, Steven Soderbergh, USA
  • 4 Comments

Soderbergh is at his commanding best in this powerful and unsettling film that captures the essence of the U.S-Mexico drug trade as it is, and without the need to moralise.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Erin Brockovich (2000)

  • Soderbergh, Steven
  • 2000, Steven Soderbergh, USA
  • 3 Comments

A David versus Goliath true story done right by Soderbergh, featuring two outstanding performances from Julia Roberts and Albert Finney.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Underneath, The (1995)

  • Soderbergh, Steven
  • 1995, Steven Soderbergh, USA
  • 2 Comments

Dissed even by Soderbergh himself, this is a flawed if underrated noirish crime-thriller that works in its own oddly-paced way. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

King of the Hill (1993)

  • Criterion Collection, Soderbergh, Steven
  • 1993, Steven Soderbergh, USA
  • 1 Comment

Soderbergh’s first studio effort is rich in its ‘30s Depression-era period detail, while also functioning as a coming-of-age tale with an unexpected touch of warmth. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Solaris (2002)

  • Soderbergh, Steven
  • 2002, Steven Soderbergh, USA
  • 1 Comment

Soderbergh’s take pales in comparison to Tarkovsky’s superior 1972 adaptation—it feels too cold and lacklustre overall though it does grow more inwardly emotional by its final act.     

⭐⭐⭐
