Review of Kramer vs. Kramer (1979) by Keira R — 30 Aug 2008
This is film at its absolute best. Dustin Hoffman finally wins the Oscar not for playing a truly unique roll, for which he is famously known. Instead, he plays a single father, with this role suddenly thrust on him at the film's onset; but plays it to such perfection that I barely registered that I was watching one of the greatest actors in film history.
Interesting to note that most of the key scene (ice cream, courtroom testimony, etc) were either ad-libbed or reworked. Won the Academy Award for Best Picture for 1979 and deservedly so; you are cheating yourself of a truly moving and unforgettable film experience if you haven't watched Kramer vs.
Kramer.
