Black Bag 2025

★★★ Watched 15 Mar 2025

It would be tempting to look at Black Bag and Presence (and perhaps The Christophers) as Soderbergh excising come feelings around marriage, but it's another partnership of his that most came to mind watching this: his love affair with David Fincher.

Pretty droll.
