Soderbergh and LaGravenese go deep beneath this voyeuristic fascination with wealth, fame, and the secret lives of celebrities.
May 28, 2013
Witty, briskly paced and consistently entertaining.
September 05, 2013
One of [Soderbergh's] strengths is in the way he subverts traditional narratives and finds interesting moments that other directors wouldn't think twice about.
May 27, 2013
This is one of the strangest and strongest TV movies in memory.

Douglas seems to be having fun playing such a flaming swishy character and hams it up.

The story is told less as a cause-and-effect narrative than as a collection of incidents that add up to something with a crushing emotional weight.
