If you enjoyed Maestro and are left thirsty for biographies, let’s dive into it below 6 biopics Thatlike Cooper’s, they are above average.

I, Tonya (2017)

Interesting biopic about the skater Tonya Hardingwho in 1994 was accused of ordering the injury of Nancy Kerrigan, her team’s leading competitor, to take her place at the U.S. Championships and Winter Olympics in Lillehammer.

The excellent performances of the main cast stand out, in particular those of Margot Robbie and Allison Janney, who won the Oscar for best supporting actress.

Social Network (2010)

David Fincher’s popular film chronicles the years of Marco Zuckerberg at Harvard until the creation and popularization of the cyber-monster Facebook.

A biopic transformed into a “business thriller” as only Fincher can do. Essential.

The Irishman (2019)

Titanic Martin Scorsese’s nearly four-hour film that wasn’t marketed as a biopic, but, ultimately, is.

The protagonist, played by Robert De Niro, is Frank “The Irishman” Sheeran, a character who existed in real life. He was an American trade unionist, swindler and hitman who worked with several prominent figures of the 20th century, such as the Bufalino family or trade unionist Jimmy Hoffa.

Scorsese’s slow, sordid film focuses on the latter’s disappearance.

The Enigma Code (2014)

Classic and sad biopic, interesting solely for its central theme.

Tell the story of Alan Turingthe misunderstood and tragic mathematician who deciphered the secret Nazi code that determined the outcome of the Second World War in favor of the Allies.

Blonde (2022)

Interrogative semi-biographical film that tells, in its own way and partly based on a fiction novel by Joyce Carol Oates, the life of the superstar Marilyn Monroe.

Although it offers a free and hyperbolic look at the diva, its vision serves to understand the personality of a woman who awakened – and still awakens – every kind of passion.

Neruda (2016)

A biopic on the current master of biopics, Pablo Larraín, could not be missing.

Before making Jackie and Spencer, the Chilean director made a strange, fantastical film about the poet Pablo Neruda which, regardless of the final result, still remains a risky proposition and worth playing.

The character’s escape continues after accusing the Chilean government of traditionalizing the communists in congress. While fleeing from the hands of a commissioner played by Gael García Bernal, the artist begins to write the “Canto general”.
