I love what Schrader can do with a camera. There are so many shots in this movie that you just…you can’t help but get excited. Oscar Isaac is his typical fantastic self. Read more

It’s at least the 4th performance of Isaac’s career worthy of Oscar’s attention, which means the Academy will probably deny that recognition again. But you shouldn’t. You should go see The Card Counter. Read more

Paul Schrader doubles down on his career-defining themes of moral responsibility with The Card Counter, dealing us an intense and absorbing exploration of fear and self-loathing through the lens of a brilliant, no-limits gambling film. Read more

The Card Counter is een sterke karakterstudie met Oscar Isaac in de hoofdrol die alle aandacht naar zich toetrekt.

Het ongemak bij het kijken van The Card Counter heeft alles te maken met het mishandelen van mensen (wetende dat in de gemiddelde thriller mensen bij bosjes worden doodgemaakt), maar de misselijkmakende flarden van vernedering en foltering zijn kennelijk nodig om je beter te kunnen inleven.
