Did anybody see the Wizard Of Lies ?

Great performances by DeNiro and Michelle Pfeiffer. Pfeiffer's Queens accent reminds me of so many of my relatives.

At the end Bernie Madoff asks a reporter if she thinks he's a sociopath. He's no more or less one than our resident president.

Yes. It was unsettling. DeNiro did a really good job. Warren DeMontague Sep 2017 #1

You end up feeling bad for Madoff's family, which for me at least was pretty unexpected.

Ruth Madoff reminds me a bit of a Mafia wife. She knew something wasn't right but she didn't want to know exactly what.

The scenes with Carl Icahn and Kenneth Langone was great. He acts all self righteous but Madoff is of no lower character than his pal Donald Trump/
