From the film inquiry review: www.filminquiry.com/vice-2018-review/"Christian Bale remains remarkably human as the political monster. Beyond gaining weight to portray the famously portly Cheney, Bale captures the schism lurking deep within his subject’s psyche. Cheney loves his wife and family unconditionally, yet lacks the self-identity to tolerate even the mildest dissenting opinion. He’s perfectly comfortable shouting down flunkies who question his shoddy evidence justifying the Iraq Invasion of 2003, yet refuses to denounce same-sex marriage out of deference to his daughter Mary (Alison Pill), who has been openly gay since the early ‘90s. Bale’s sunken shoulders and quiet demeanor suggest the possibility of redemption where none exists, which might be his most outstanding acting accomplishment to date."
