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 Aender S As much as I like the two main characters, I quite dislike the cinematography of this film. Mainly the style how Joe's flashbacks, Rico's daydreaming and the party are filmed are not my cup of tea. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/05/24 Full Review Jeff M This movie will forever be a footnote in history as the first and only X-rated motion picture to win Best Picture. Of course, viewing it in 2020, it comes across as a rough PG-13, maybe a soft R. I had never watched this film, and I wasn't sure exactly what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised to find a moving portrait of one of the most unlikely friendships in cinema history. It's never conveyed for certain whether Rico's friendship with Joe has romantic intentions or not, but it doesn't matter - this is a story of two lonely people who make a connection, and by the end I was on the verge of tears. Voight excels as our main protagonist, but he is frankly blown off the screen by Hoffman in an absolutely spectacular performance. I'm not a Hoffman fan, but he is absolutely brilliant here, and this joins TOOTSIE and KRAMER VS. KRAMER as his crowning achievements. It's a role that could have so easily gone over the top, but he is perfect! The movie has a bit too many flashbacks and psychedelic montages, and there are no supporting characters of much substance, but these are minor quibbles. I am so glad to have finally caught up with this movie on the 50th anniversary of its Oscar win. It's a movie I won't forget anytime soon.
