Following a successful run at 2019’s film festival circuit, The Laundromat celebrated a limited theatrical release that September before dropping on Netflix a month later. For the most part, critics and audiences were pretty split on how they felt about the film, with some enjoying the project being chopped into three separate perspectives and others feeling that this made a mess of the story. Soderbergh and Burns certainly caught most of the flak, the critics had largely only positive things to say about the A-list cast of talent.
Soderbergh also earned some bad press after it was pointed out that one of Meryl Streep’s characters had the star performing in brownface as a Panamanian woman. While something like this could’ve ended another filmmaker’s career, that certainly didn’t happen for Soderbergh who continues to be an in-business director since The Laundromat, having recently released such titles as Magic Mike’s Last Dance and Kimi, with his psychological thriller, Presence, due out later this year.
