Review of Scent of a Woman (1992) by Adam P — 09 Mar 2010
It took me a long time to get into (and actually consistently watch) this film. There was something off-putting about it's pretentious tone and the collection of private schoolboys. Needless to say, there was something Incredibly off-putting about Al Pacino's character as well.
But by the end, I had been completely won over. I may not have stood up and cheered, but I was thrilled and delighted by the paths the two characters had taken. It was all a little pat, a little cheesymagoo, but Chris O'Donnell and Al Pacino rocked the socks off these rolls (even with prior's incredibly 90s hair).
And, as in all of his films, I wanted to kick Philip Seymour Hoffman in the balls. God, that man.
