According to Oscar winning actor Alan Arkin - he claims that the performance by Steven Hill is this film is the single greatest screen performance he ever saw.
"I only work in black, and sometimes very very dark grey"
I have to agree. I was taken aback by it. His reaction when his daughter got up to go was priceless.
shareAre you serious? Lahti kills the scene with her ability to cry and get choked up in all the right placws but Hill doesn't offer up anything special at all, it's just a regular performance. If this is the greatest performance commited to screen that's not saying much haha. Solid film but long winded
shareAll the performances were so very strong in this movie. I just came from a post denigrating Judd Hirsch in this movie, calling him miscast; even going so far as to say He was terrible in Ordinary People! I just don't get it.
shareI agree. The sadness, and realness of that scene still haunts me.
