Our take

The New Hollywood maestro’s work is always ripe for reevaluation, from his celebrated films to the sorely maligned. This feverish, Hitchcockian corporate hall of mirrors, packed with intoxicating rivalry and eroticism, has proven to be one of the latter—and yet is as masterful as anything he’s done.
