Ocean’s Eight
{4.5/5} “I must have the sun.”
Ocean’s Eight, released in 2018
Debbie Ocean, Danny’s sister, plans a heist while in prison. When she gets out she puts together a team of eight to pull it off. During the annual Met Gala they will steal priceless diamonds off the neck of a famous actress. One of the eight needs to be a fashion designer, who will dress the actress for the gala.
I love the tone. The entire cast is great, but Anne Hathaway and Helena Bonham Carter are particularly delightful. There are a bunch of fun cameos.
It’s funny, and there are a couple of clever twists.
Stars Sandra Bullock and Cate Blanchett. Directed by Gary Ross (Pleasantville). The jazzy music is by Daniel Pemberton.
