Review Detail

It’s not only the storyline and the wit and intelligence of the script, but the wonderful cast that makes this movie believable and funny and  moving.  Dustin. Hoffman nails it. As abrasive and self absorbed as his character is, we watch him evolve and become more self aware. Oddly enough he is totally acceptable in his female disguise, and we find ourselves rooting for him/her as he navigates the limitations, challenges and realities of being a woman. Jessica Lange imbues her character with a gentle innocence and optimism.  Charles Durning , alway wonderful, is heart-breakingly real.  The entire cast shines. This movie is perfect .
