Review of Kramer vs. Kramer (1979) by Francisco R — 21 Mar 2012

Kramer vs. Kramer is just fantastic, it's a terrific movie, it's also one of my favorite movies and one of my favorite classics, I just totally loved it, the acting is superb, all the main actors of this won an Oscar or were nominated for it, the plot is genius and the movie itself is outstanding, you have no idea how good it is and you have no idea how much I like it. Kramer vs. Kramer won 5 deserved Oscars, I just loved it, this movie is a masterpiece and it's just touching and engaging, I can't think of anyone who doesn't like it, this movie's 7.7 on IMDb might be a bit low for this movie, just to let you know how really good it is. Sow, Kramer vs. Kramer is a movie that I can recommend to everybody, if you ever want to pick a classic to watch, Kramer vs. Kramer would be one of the best possible choises, cause this movie is worth watching and I think everybody who loves films should, cause this is a masterpiece, it has a masterpiece acting, a masterpiece script, a masterpiece directing and I think it's one of the best movies ever made in the history of films. Terrific movie.

Robert Benton directs this movie and he did a terrific job, he defenitely deserved his Oscar, he just did a terrific job and he provided you an unforgettable masterpiece. Dustin Hoffman takes the lead role and this was probably the highlight of his career, at least for me, from all the movies I've seen where Dustin takes a role in it, this was defenetely his best perfomance, he just defenitely deserved his oscar and I loved his perfomance and the character he played, Dustin was just amazing, Dustin is known from my ninth favorite movie, wich is Meet the Parents, he is also known from my tenth favorite movie, wich is Little Fockers, he is also known from Rain Man, The Graduate, Tootsie, Kung Fu Panda, Kung Fu Panda 2 and some other movies. Meryl Streep, oh, what can I say, I genuanlly think that she's possibly my favorite actress, I mean, she was already nominated for 17 Oscars, she's won 3 of them, including her role in this movie, wich was 100% deserved, Meryl is a legend and she's easily my favorite actress, in this movie, she had a terrific perfomance, I just loved her here, she's really amazing, Meyl is known from, The Iron Lady, Doubt, Sophie's Choice, Out of Africa, Julie & Julia and some other movies. Jane Alexander was amazing here and she also deserved her Oscar nomination, Jane is known from The Ring, The Cider House Rules and some other movies. Justin Henry was the little kid that got in this movie with no acting experience... overall, he was one of the youngest actors ever nominated for Oscar and I think he defenitely deserved his nomination, for a kid of age 7 at that time, he was amazing, Justin is known from Tiger Town, Sixteen Candles, Finding Home and some other movies. Sow, as you can see, this movie has extraordinary actors in it and extraordinary perfomances by the excellent actors, this is one of the only movies that I've watched where all the main actors got an Oscar or were nominated for it. Excellent perfomances. Excellent cast.

Ted Kramer (Dustin Hoffman) is a man that just got divorced by Joanna Kramer (Meryl Streep) who coulnd't take him anymore. Ted Kramer is now alone with his son Billy Kramer (Justin Henry), who was very attached to his mother. After almost 18 months, Joanna comes back in order of getting Billy back. Ted doesn't accept that so Ted and Joanna go to court seing who's getting the child's custody.(What I thought about the plot) I loved this movie's script, it was worth an Oscar obviously. The script was amazingly written, it really defines the lives of people who get divorced, I loved the script, it moved me, it had an excellent development and I think it was one of the best written plots ever, besides, it worked really well in the movie, it's very touching but everything gets back in pieces (Attention: This was no spoiler). Sow, for you to watch the movie, you just have to know that the plot is excellent, really outstanding and that it won an Oscar, that's all. Excellent plot.

Soundtrack, well, I only remember to hear one theme I guess, just for a few seconds, but that's alright, this movie didn't need a good soundtrack, there was just a few minute theme, that's all.

Besides all that, I am now going to tell you what I really thought about this movie. First of all, I defenitely think you should watch Kramer vs. Kramer if you haven't, I mean, it's one of the most well done movies in history, it's just amazing, it's never boring, I can assure you that, the production was amazing, everything was amazing, what leaves me secure saying that this is a perfect movie, not near perfect or anything lke that, it's really, a perfect movie. Sow, Kramer vs. Kramer is moving, entertaining, it has terrific acting and an amazingly well written plot, what more can you get from a classic, this is one of my favorite dramas and I'm sure no one would ever even think of giving it an average rating, this is really those kinds of movies that everybody love and I'm one of those peole, it was amazingly well done and it stands as the highlight of a few actors' careers, trust me. Overall, Kramer vs. Kramer is terrific from the beginning to the end, it has an excellent cast, an excellent plot and it's a very entertaining movie. I highly recommend it, it's really worth watching it. Kramer vs. Kramer: 10/10. Masterpiece.
