Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: The good thing is that the principals and film makers make the absolute most of a conventional opportunity.
Fresh: An epic picaresque in the tradition of Rain Man, Scent of a Woman is Al Pacino's entry into the Dustin Hoffman virtousic-one-man-show sweepstakes.
Fresh: This is a great performance from Pacino, who has the good luck here to work with Goldman's mostly wonderful, edgy script.
Fresh: By the end of Scent of a Woman, we have arrived at the usual conclusion of the coming-of-age movie, and the usual conclusion of the prep school movie. But rarely have we been taken there with so much intelligence and skill.
