Every ten years or so I give this cluttered classic another whirl. I'm a Pakula fan and a quasi journalist. I'm not ashamed to admit that I can't understand a thing. Not even with subtitles. Hoffman's frenzied earnestness, so endearing in Rainman, is a major irritant in this ouevre - blowing imaginary tranquilizer darts at the screen helps. If you're watching with friends, knock back a shot every time Dustin looks like he desperately needs to pee. You won't stay sober long. This movie simply has too many words, too many minutes, and too much integrity. Probity is boring...that's why Oliver Stone was invented.

This is such a good movie. It is perfect the way it is. May it NEVER be remade (stay away England, Australia , this is an American Classic ). See it!

November 22, 2012 -- I gave this movie 5 stars, but did not write any comments. Yet here I am again, August 17, 2013, returning to view the movie a second time. Maybe this is my third or fourth, I don't remember. I'll have to gather my thoughts to give a lucid review, so I'll have to leave it at this, for now. In the meantime, I wonder if I'll discover details I missed before? One thing I can say: watch and re-watch? It's that good. The movie was up for 8 Oscars, for which it won four. Also while going through this stage, the movie was up for 10 BAFTA's but didn't leave with one. That's okay, because that much recognition still acknowledges the caliber of this film.
