Dark Waters (Todd Haynes, 2019) wr. Matthew Carnaham, Mario Correra; Anne Hathaway, Mark Ruffalo, Bill Pullman, William Jackson Harper; release 22 November
A corporate defense attorney takes on an environmental lawsuit against a chemical company that exposes a lengthy history of pollution.
Mark Zoller Saitz, at roberebert.com: "For all its patience and droll humor, this is an angry movie, rightly so. The most crowd-pleasing moments find Ruffalo transformed into a Jimmy Stewart- or Tom Hanks-level idealistic Everyman, railing against the world's evils while also taking the time to explain how they became entrenched, and how it's still possible to fight them, in a small way, at great cost.
