Director Stephen Sodebergh remains one of my favorite filmmakers because he manages to move back and forth between making high budget, entertaining flicks ...( read more)
Strange, absorbing, hypnotic. It's not something I can talkabout; just something you have to see.
The shots of doll parts was the best thing about this film.I guess Soderbergh had a break between "Ocean's Twelve" & "The Good German",so thought he'd shoot this super low-budget thing with non-actors(I'm assuming they were home-grown),about a repressed factory worker,her dope-sm...( read more)
Bubble earns its rating because as an experiment, it succeeds. The movie is cast entirely with unprofessionals and the dialogue is improvised and yet it still feels like one of the most believable films I've seen in a long time. Steven Soderbergh really pulled this one off.

The characters are so closely observed and played with such exacting accuracy and conviction that Bubble becomes quietly, inexorably, hypnotic. full review
... a potent and provocative look at life unhinged. full review
Slyly unfurls in ambiguous, multiple-interpretation fashion. full review
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "Bubble" !
