Review of Kramer vs. Kramer (1979) by Vincent B — 21 Oct 2008
It's scary how amazing Meryl Streep is at acting. She plays a very true supporting role in this movie yet she steals every scene shes in, its just unreal. I mean you are supposed to hate her character, hate her! But yet you can't because you feel for her because of Streep's brilliant performance.
This performance in anyone elses hands would have ruined the ending to this movie. What makes it even more impressive is that she steals scenes from Dustin Hoffman in one his greatest performances and it is a great performance.
Robert Benton does a great job at writing and directing this film. There is no underwritten or overwritten elements everything feels natural and real. This is a true heart-warming and beautiful film, even those who hate kids can't help but fall for this one.
This is the type of film I wish hollywood would go back to making.
