'Black Bag' May Be the Apotheosis of Steven Soderbergh’s 'Little' Films. It's Time for Him to Take a Bigger Swing
You could say that Soderbergh’s first official “little” film was “Full Frontal” (2002), an all-star Hollywood satire made for $2 million, or you could say that it was “Bubble” (2005), a Middle American existential crime drama that also happened to be the first day-and-date release. In a way, though, the original Soderbergh “little” film was “Schizopolis,” the aggro experimental doodle he made all by himself and released in 1996, as a way to clear his pipes after what he characterized as the miserable experience of directing “The Underneath.” Here’s my own breakdown: The three best ones are “The Girlfriend Experience,” “Kimi,” and “Bubble”; “Side Effects,” “The Laundromat” and “Let Them All Talk” are good; “Full Frontal,” “Haywire,” and “Presence” are meh.
