FULL STORY
======================================================================

Many people reckon that Michael Clayton is George Clooney's best performance. 
The legal thriller racked up an impressive selection of Oscar nominations, 
including a nomination for Clooney and a best supporting actress award for 
co-star Tilda Swinton. 

In the US, it's currently streaming on Prime Video and Paramount+ , while 
those in Australia can catch it on SBS Demand. And if you're in the UK, it'll 
become available on one of the best free streaming services , Samsung TV 
Plus, from May 2. If you haven't already seen it, you're in for a real treat. 
Why is Michael Clayton one of Clooney's best movies? 

The combination of movie star charisma, which of course Clooney has in 
spades, and a morally complex character often makes movie magic. That's 
definitely the case here, with Clooney playing the titular fixer who takes 
care of his law firm's dirty work and then gets drawn into a cover-up. And 
Tilda Swindon's Oscar was well deserved. 

" Michael Clayton definitely has its heart in the '70s," MSNBC said. That's a 
compliment, as some of the best movies of that decade had flawed protagonists 
who weren't stereotypical good guys. The Sydney Morning Herald agreed, saying 
that "It's an enveloping thriller with a cool intelligence, the kind of film 
Redford or Newman would have jumped at 15 or 20 years ago." 

Movie Mom (no link available, sorry) was impressed by Clooney's acting  "His 
performance here is rich and deep and layered, and seeing him work through 
his range of reactions is enormously moving. It provides a strong center for 
the legal thriller swirling around him"  while the New York Daily News said 
that "Every performance in this film is spot-on." 

"George Clooney wastes nothing in his best performance, and the film is as 
breathtakingly efficient," said the Midwest Film Journal . "Specifics and 
surprises unfold with methodical care, and attentive adult audiences can 
savor one of the smartest, classiest legal thrillers ever made." 

 Michael Clayton is streaming now on Prime Video and on Paramount+ in the US, 
and SBS Demand in Ausutralia. It'll debut on Samsung TV Plus UK on May the 
2nd. You may also like The 26 best Prime Video movies to stream right now 3
