Review of The Deer Hunter (1978) by Joel H — 11 Mar 2014
It takes a really good film to make up for being a three-hour movie. The Deer Hunter doesn't quite hit that mark. The entire first hour could have been cut down to ten minutes and the third hour is bleak and hopeless.
The second hour is pretty intense, though. I think that this won Best Picture because it was politically controversial at the time, but it hasn't held up very well - aside from the acting, which was quite good.
