Review of The Savages (2007) by Lauren B — 28 Apr 2009
This movie was absolutely terrifying for me. I have never related to a character more than I did with Phillip Seymour Hoffman's role as John Savage. If you have a negative feeling/ relationship you need to see this movie.
It made me do a great deal of self-examination about what could easily happen to me. Laura Linney (Oscar Nom for this role) displays every emotion in the human mind and delivers them without the audience questioning it for a second.
Phillip Seymour Hoffman again, dominates with superb acting. If you want my opinion, you must...you're reading my review, you need to see this. Anyone that is a fan of pure acting needs to see this movie.
Within there are no special effects. There is no overwhelming background music. Everything has been stripped down to give Linney and Hoffman thee screen to own. Go rent this, immeadiately.
