Review of Pocket Money

Pocket Money (1972)
9/10
a glimpse into life
14 February 2003
this movie is about life. it's a brief glimpse into the lives of newman's and marvin's characters, with a surrounding cast of rich, entertaining characters thrown in for fun. if you're looking for a particular type of movie with a particular type of ending then this movie is not for you. if you're aware of the twists and turns of fate in your life and have come to be aware that there's not a clear explanation for everything that happens, and that you live a moment and then it's gone forever, then you'll appreciate this look into the lives of these two characters. a brief glimpse into a reality in which not every experience falls into a strict logical sequence and some things just happen. you don't live your life as a sequence of discrete beginnings and endings and this movie has done a great job depicting that.
