Alec B @Alec97 05/30/2024 Lemmon's performance nails the character's exhaustion but the script is painfully obvious. The scene where they say the title of the movie is so absurd that you'd be forgiven for thinking it's parody. See more Peter W @RT12077588 08/25/2023 Overall, this is a touching, well-made drama focusing on one man dealing with extreme anxiety levels in all areas of his life. Jack Lemmon as Harry is outstanding, and audiences will appreciate the detail and depth on display even during the opening scene. While viewers may disagree with Harry's choices, you still hope that he finds peace and some form of joy by the end credits. It's a slow burn, and sadly, the third act drags on and feels slightly uncomfortable, given some of the lengthy scenes and extended dialogue that is exchanged. That being said, the finale is highly impacting, deeply touching, unpredictable, and pleasing.

Avildsen's Save the Tiger, he portrays Harry Stoner, the owner of a clothing manufacturing factory, a man who longs for the simpler times of the past, seemingly unable to come to terms with the present, especially with regards to his struggling, financially strapped business. Lemmon shows impressive restraint throughout, giving a subtle performance of quiet desperation as he watches his moral compass slip away. The movie, despite feeling a bit dated (especially over the last twenty minutes), works on the strength of its script, Lemmon's performance, as well as the performance of Jack Gilford as Stoner's business partner and voice of reason.
