Yash B "Midnight Cowboy" doesn't fall into my favorite Best Picture winners, but this is a good movie that really does leave a profound impact. It can be difficult to watch but it is full of really unique editing choices as well as featuring two memorable performances. I found myself a bit unsure of where it was going at first, but by the end, I really felt the emotional weight of the story. I also think this is a movie that embodies the time it came out and it really feels like a time capsule in that way. It is a bold film for its time and its impact is still felt today. Overall, it is a unique and well-made film that is maybe one of the bleakest and unglamorous depictions of New York City that kept me engaged and often exhausted, similar to the characters it portrays, and I think it is a film I admire from a filmmaking perspective. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/05/25 Full Review nick s Not incredibly strong storytelling. The movie follows a naiive traveller and his newfound mate trying to get ahead in the big apple. The ending was quite predictable. But the characters were wonderfully compelling and I just wanted to keep watching them - the doe eyed tough guy and his hustler sidekick. I could see where a certain muppet character got his cues from. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/05/25 Full Review Shobhit B I watched this movie after knowing it won 3 oscars and ranked 36 in WGA 100 greatest screenplays. However i liked the acting of Dustin Hoffman but , found this movie bit overated and dull . I didn't get emotionally connected with lead characters and found them unlikeable as it normalise their unlawful acts . Furthermore both of them do not seem to really care about each other till the end .Overall it is one time watch movie. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/19/24 Full Review Ian S One of my favourite films of all time. Brilliantly acted characters draw you in. Full of emotion and empathy, bit of humour, shows the harder side of the 60s love in. Soundtrack and editing are brilliant, and think Jon Voight is incredible. Perfect film if feeling sorry for myself. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/31/24 Full Review Fer S Really good movie with an amazing atmosphere that will make you appreciate what you have. I just found it to be kind of slow. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/17/24 Full Review Jelisije J An extremly well acted movie that sad to say is a product of its time. The story is so gravely depressing that I never want to watch this film again. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/19/24 Full Review Read all reviews
