Review of The Grifters (1990) by Jeremy P — 17 Jul 2007
A great screenplay and career-best performances make this film noir one of the best films of the 90's. Anjelica Huston's monumental performance is the main reason to watch this film. She is simply in another league when it comes to acting.
Cusack and Benning are great too but they don't even compare to Huston's astonishing portrayal of Lily. She's cold, calculating, conflicted, driven, clever and intimidating all rolled into one delicious package! Her final scene in the film with Cusack will become etched in your memory for a very long time once you see it.
One of the best leading female performances I've seen in a long time!
