One of the great joys of having a criticker-account: to wander through my top-100 and tp rewatch something that fits my mood. So today leaving las vegas, rewatching it after many years. Back in the day it hadn't occured to me that Cage was THIS good. Really an exceptional performance! I cried out loud laughing. Nevertheless, I trimmed my score from 94 to 88, because a lot that surrounds Cage is a little bit crappy to be honest… But those are details, I still value it as a great movie.

I watched this one to see how it aged. Great acting performances, no doubt, and I understand why the director would have chosen such an uneven narrative language; but dear gods the script, the cinematography, the score all became too much to make me care about the characters after a while. With a different director, this could have been a masterpiece. Now I'm sad.

Despite what the synopsises you read say, this is not a story about Nic's character; it's about Elizabeth Shue's. She does an amazing job, as does Nic, in portraying a codependent, destructive relationship between two broken people. The direction was great, and the score was appropriate. Do not expect easy answers or motivations; there is ambiguity as to what the characters actually are seeking from each other. However, the most impressive aspect is the tone. It's dazing, melancholy, and lonely.

It's a bit too cliché-stricken for my taste, when it comes to plot and overall direction, but the performances really make this movie work. Nicolas Cage is good (altough I think a performance like this comes relatively easy to him), but Elisabeth Shue really carries this movie.

I wasn’t expecting it to be as good as it actually was. The directing was actually really good and the story was a very tough watch, which makes it an effective one in return. Dialogue and writing seemed real to me. Shue was very good and Cage was as well. Probably the best performances I’ve seen from both of them in a long while. Obviously not for everybody but it’s very well made and acted.

I am not a big fan of using the word but I wouldn't be exaggerating if I said Leaving Las Vegas was one of the worst movies I've ever seen.
