Review of Rain Man (1988) by Bryan%20 F — 07 Oct 2018
What can I say about Rainman? Culture has bestowed enough platitudes on the film but what do I feel? Barry Levinson's Rainman is a good but not great film. It is a good, solid feature film but certainly not worthy of best picture.
Furthermore with the passage of time we have seen that the autistic portrayal here is kinda skewed to put it mildly. However, having said this it is a good film featuring a great performance by Dustin Hoffman who won an Oscar for his portrayal of an autistic brother to Tom Cruise's straight man.
Regardless, this is a good watch, if for nothing else then for the fact that it won many awards.
