Pfeiffer was an amazing Ruth Madoff. I feel so sorry for Ruth, she was caught up in a bad situation, lost her children, grandchildren, her life long love, and her cushy life style. He screwed up, but she had to pay for it.
Chicken Head man I was thinking the exact same thing! Skinnering about others but in his 'profession as an interviewer' and he himself is a low life, just repulsive!
I recently watched a depiction of this and watched how Ruth stuck by her husband at the expense of her sons. My mother has done the same thing and being on the child end of it, it's devastating to watch your mother choose a man who ruined your life over you. I let my parents go too which is also devastating. I will never understand how a mother can do that.
Sonja DawnI think she had shared a life with him for her entire life. As a child, I think it’s tough to understand the depth of your parents relationship. My Dad was a drunk but Mom stayed with him, and I could never understand it. When I got older and got married, I began to understand the nature of a marriage, and the lifelong commitment that it demands. For Ruth, she was inextricably. Intertwined with Bernie, he adored her and she him. I think that some folks lost a lot of money, and that is tragic, I also think that some folks were greedy and refused to look at the obvious...the SEC also failed to look at the obvious.
You know people don't realize the work and special gifts of actors. Robert and Michelle felt personally responsible in these portrayals. Michelle says something oddly prophetic at the end about not being able to just stop loving someone no matter what they do. I'm sure Matt had no idea at the time what was awaiting him.
Matt Lauer lives in the same East 64th Street Manhattan apartment building once occupied (1984-2009) by Bernie Madoff. Funny how he never mentioned that🤔
De Niro is the greatest male actor alive at this point in film. All of us know he has taken some suspect roles but he has such a strong work ethic that this should be forgiven by even the harshest critic. His beloved parents, may they rest in peace, must be proud as we are as Americans to have such a great artist as Bob deNiro in our epoch of film. God Bless you Bob, from you know who.
Too short an interview. To be honest... that De Niro and Pfeiffer, two great (of the greatest) actors of our generation, offer even to do a morning show interview is grace itself. Today, should have given them longer than that. De Niro, didn't even get to speak. One thing though... is they showed class, not expecting the show to come to them. No hotel lobby glitz and glamour... respecting the victims.
I love De Niro but I think he plays "De Niro" in most of movies. I watched this and really thought he did an amazing job. One of his best roles, in my humble opinion. He really made me hate Bernie.
Matt Lauer: "Do you remember the first time you heard about this scandal? When the headlines broke. What you thought about the scope of this and what this guy must have been like?" Yes, Matt, yes, I do.
everybody here seems to be falling all over themselves about pfeiffer ,,,,,"The Actress", the story is about The Madoff's or what is left of them. DO YOU NOT GET THE POINT ??????????
The movie was excellent. Had little interest in the story until De Niro took part. It is so tragic for the family but Madoff is a sociopathic Monster. Money is definitely the root of all evil.
Shouldn't invest more than you are willing to lose. I don't think Bernie Madoff is a bad person, he got out of his depth. In a world where everyone is looking for "the deal", he played the role with the intention of becoming the deal. He's not morally evil like a murderer, serial killer etc... I feel sorry for him and his family and of course all his victims. But its just money people! Also if you're going to throw the victim's situations back at me, I refer you to my opening statement.
Come on Michelle - How could she live with the man and not know what he was doing - I can't feel sorry for any of them - They spent other people money to live a remarkable life - They are all crooks - Pooor wifey - She loved her husband boohoo - sorry I don't buy it -
I don't believe she or her sons knew. I watched the movie and she knew Bernie from a very young age . . . I don't think she ever had much of a job either, although they mentioned that she worked for him as a bookkeeper in the very beginning. I just think she was a bit of a ditz. There are a lot of married people where one spouse just doesn't care to know about the finances. Especially when she had so much, she didn't have to budget, she didn't have to save. She just led the good life. I just think she was a bit of a dope.
Luv - Possibly? - But I am skeptical - Maybe she was a ditz, but I am not convinced she was totally innocent - Perhaps she knew, but ignored it - Many wives do this because they do not want to know the details - Yes, the family suffered and Bernie and his wife should have thought of this - They had many, many years to figure it out but cared only for themselves - They are not victum
I agree ,you got to rememeber his wife has known him since she was 14 im sure he charmed HER BIG TIME THATS HOW HE WAS ABLE TO CONVINCE PEOPLE IN INVESTING THEIR MONEY ...
Serial killers (Green River Killer, BTK killer) had long term wives who had zero clue they out torturing and murdering people. Why is it difficult to believe she didn't know...I really don't think he came home one night and said "hey honey, guess what, I'm actually stealing all this money, ha ha."
Very sad story. Baha'u'llah, Prophet-Founder of the Baha'i Revelation, tells of when He "gazed on one of the Beauties of the Most Sublime Paradise, standing on a pillar of light..." who cried aloud "By God, the True One! I am Trustworthiness and the revelation thereof, and the beauty thereof." "I am the supreme instrument for the prosperity of the world, and the horizon of assurance unto all beings." The Beauty asserted that She was "the foundation of every human endeavor."
If the husband sneezes the wife will know about it...She knew...What I want to know is when his " cells" started to metastasize and thereby infect not only himself but his whole family as well as society.
Michelle is a terrific actress, very classy and sassy lady.
Michelle looks awesome!!!
Her womb is so polluted.
good memory
Watch Scarface again
LOL. She was awesome in that!

So great to see Michelle back at work! She's a terrific actress. I've missed her.
Pfeiffer is still hot!
I know! She looks awesome for a mature woman. 😎
thx for that
Henry Zhang women get more interesting with age
Michelle Pfeiffer looks amazing. 60 is just a number to her. Unbelievable how good she looks.
She looks incredible
Michelle looks like a million bucks. Looks like they both give an amazing performance. This could've been released in the theatres
Give them all the awards. Robert and Michelle show people the art of acting.
Could not believe how hot Michelle is still. Great acting too! Loved the movie.
These two deserve an Oscar nomination for their work in this movie, amazing actors!
HBO is TV - I think you mean Emmy.
fantastic movie. De Niro and Pfeiffer wonderful performances.
Wow they acted beautifully. It's amazing how close they resembled both
Robert and Michelle were amazing in it
I love her so much♥ she is just so sweet an kind♥
Finally a great role for her! I want to see her in more things.
I hope they give her an amazing hit TV show.
Pfeiffer was an amazing Ruth Madoff. I feel so sorry for Ruth, she was caught up in a bad situation, lost her children, grandchildren, her life long love, and her cushy life style. He screwed up, but she had to pay for it.
I Saw the movie on Saturday night.. very good.. must see
Michele pfeifer is so beautiful..
Emmy Award for De Niro.
totally agree. he was fantastic

Michelle Pfeiffer is a Goddess...!!!!
I CAN NOT WAIT TO WATCH THIS
Michelle looks stunning
I really liked it, great , great acting a lot of times I thought it was real Bernie, Michelle was awesome !
Robert and Michele did a fantastic job playing these real people.
Matt Lauer lives in the same East 64th Street Manhattan apartment building once occupied (1984-2009) by Bernie Madoff. Funny how he never mentioned that🤔
The most realistic Movie we have ever seen on the Madoff Case. 🤔
De Niro is the greatest male actor alive at this point in film. All of us know he has taken some suspect roles but he has such a strong work ethic that this should be forgiven by even the harshest critic. His beloved parents, may they rest in peace, must be proud as we are as Americans to have such a great artist as Bob deNiro in our epoch of film. God Bless you Bob, from you know who.
I agree but Robert Duval is my favorite!! There is hardly any acting in the crap movies today!!!!
How could you love your family and keep that secret from them. This guy is major league.
Wow, De Niro has an incredible resemblance to Bernie Madoff.
This movie was amazing.... great job guys....
What a couple of TOP CLASS actors,,,,
Michelle Pfeiffer & Robert Deniro Are The Best 💯
Why does Robert DeNiro look like he'd rather be some place else in this interview?
Excellent casting and performances..
Good to see Deniro in a decent movie for a change.
Amazing performances by both actors
Pfeiffer is still gorgeous!
She looks terrific. These two look turned into their characters- wow.
....an not one person was fired from the SEC....hhmmm
Wow Matt didn't really acknowledge Robert he asked him two questions. Rude...
I remember feeling sorry for Ruth, because she didn't understand that she would loose everything. The ground was pulled out from under her feet.
Really good movie. Just finished watching this morning.
Could these two look less thrilled to be interviewed by Matt Lauer?
They don't like doing interviews period.
If your gonna get anyone to play you in a movie it would be these two. The elite of Hollywood 🤩
Great movie
Too short an interview. To be honest... that De Niro and Pfeiffer, two great (of the greatest) actors of our generation, offer even to do a morning show interview is grace itself. Today, should have given them longer than that. De Niro, didn't even get to speak. One thing though... is they showed class, not expecting the show to come to them. No hotel lobby glitz and glamour... respecting the victims.
Never forget the victims, but let’s also never talk about them.
De Niro has since lost his mind.
Robert DeNiro is awesome
That interviewer needs to be put in prison for crimes against journalism
Where can I see this movie besides HBO?
How ironic for Deniro to do a movie of his old
neighbor loll. Must have had a few cocktails
together on the beach at one point for sure.
She is probably the nicest person ever!!!
Michelle Pfeiffer still hot!
And, Robert DeNiro can play Matt Lauer whenever H.B.O. decides to make a movie about him...
"the main thing about money, it makes you do things you normally wouldn't do" Hal Holbrook, Wall Street
I love De Niro but I think he plays "De Niro" in most of movies. I watched this and really thought he did an amazing job. One of his best roles, in my humble opinion. He really made me hate Bernie.
Bernie will go down in history as a legend. And rightfully so. He had a good career and lived the life. 😁
Loved this movie. Can't stand Matt. He thinks he's the cat's meow.
Shut up Matt, let Robert talk.
Two iconic movie starts of all times.
Matt Lauer: "Do you remember the first time you heard about this scandal? When the headlines broke. What you thought about the scope of this and what this guy must have been like?" Yes, Matt, yes, I do.
AWESOME MOVIE!! but I hope his wife talks to him!!!
3:39
watched both shows with DeNiro and Richard Dreyfus...Dreyfus did much better job portraying Madoff...
Michelle Pfeiffer ❤💥♥
This movie was LIT
Great actresses
I'd rather date her than Margot Robbie.
Holy cow...Michelle phiffer does not age. What does she do!!! I want to know
Facelift
Michelle, guapa!
Awesome movie. If you haven’t seen it, you should.
everybody here seems to be falling all over themselves about pfeiffer ,,,,,"The Actress", the story is about The Madoff's or what
is left of them. DO YOU NOT GET THE POINT ??????????
The movie was excellent. Had little interest in the story until De Niro took part. It is so tragic for the family but Madoff is a sociopathic Monster. Money is definitely the root of all evil.
"Money" is not the root of anything.
"Avarice ('the love of money') is the root of all evil."
Shouldn't invest more than you are willing to lose. I don't think Bernie Madoff is a bad person, he got out of his depth. In a world where everyone is looking for "the deal", he played the role with the intention of becoming the deal. He's not morally evil like a murderer, serial killer etc... I feel sorry for him and his family and of course all his victims. But its just money people! Also if you're going to throw the victim's situations back at me, I refer you to my opening statement.
De Niro has no range as an actor.
Michelle is a Goddess!!!
It’s amazing how many comments are about Pfeiffer’s looks. These people would easily be Madoff’s victims too....
Clarify show & tell the hounds of Baskerville 1 day mature & stable & safe observation ectinction process.
150 years disgusting sentence
FEEL DA' BURNNNN
Holy crap...she's freakin adorable!!!
Uncanny how they looked so alike
Michelle is one of Hollywood’s most beautiful. I mean oh lordy she is smokin hot
Nice try but I do not think for one second that she did not know much more than she claims.
De Niro doesn't say much, does he?
I will always love dinero for his stance on trump...
Come on Michelle - How could she live with the man and not know what he was doing - I can't feel sorry for any of them - They spent other people money to live a remarkable life - They are all crooks - Pooor wifey - She loved her husband boohoo - sorry I don't buy it -

De Niro looks so much like him
i dont know why im just noticing it now but michelle and madonna really look alike.
The rich stole from the rich !!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Matt Lauer another crook
Dreyfuss, beats De nero as Bernie.
Y’all remember Matt lauer?

Why are we to feel sympathy for the devils
family?
Dont get it.
Ironically, it would also take Madoff about 150 years to count to the number of dollars he had swindeled over the years, counting i one per second.
If the husband sneezes the wife will know about it...She knew...What I want to know is when his " cells" started to metastasize and thereby infect not only himself but his whole family as well as society.
