Review of Ordinary People (1980) by Georgeauk — 01 May 2021
This is the greatest family drama of all time. Just think they made the mother the villain! Talk about taking a chance. Besides Elliott in ET, Timothy Hutton gives the greatest juvenile performance of all time.
I mean come on, he won the Oscar. Mary Tyler Moore took such a chance taking this role. This beat Raging Bull for the Best Picture Oscar, and why? Because it made people feel, deeply. The ending comes out of nowhere.
Kramer vs. Kramer and American Beauty don't even come close to this FILM.
