An Intelligent and Solid Film About Divorce
After a decade of turbulent unrest, American movies began to switch gears and turn their cameras away from war-torn battlefields, political corruption, and general social unease to the more intimate world of family dysfunction. The toll the selfish Baby Boomers began to take on the American family as they grew up and had kids of their own was making itself felt.“Kramer vs. Kramer” is one of the first of these dysfunctional family dramas that would continue to be so popular throughout the 1980s, and it’s one of the best. It gets a rather bum rap now, because it’s known as the film that beat “Apocalypse Now” for the 1979 Best Picture Academy Award, but comparing these two films is like comparing a banana to a marinated chicken breast: they’re not remotely the same, but can’t we enjoy them both? Director/writer Robert Benton doesn’t try to do anything fancy with his movie; its strength lies in its performances, those of Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep particularly, playing a divorced couple fighting childishly and selfishly over their son. The courtroom scene in which they duke it out for custody, and in which each is forced to hurt the other in terrible ways, is devastating, and feels authentic. The movie doesn’t present Hoffman’s solid dad as a hero, or Streep’s straying mom as a villain. They’re neither good or bad as people — they’re simply bad at being married.
The film is tear-jerky at the finale, but not in a manipulative way. It earns its right to elicit sobs.
Grade: A
One of Hoffman’s bests
Kramer vs. Kramer is one film to hold on too and not forget. It isn’t one of the most popular films ever made and is certainly one of the weakest best picture films, but it does not mean it still isn’t important. I thought the movie was well done and made you just want to watch more and more of it. The performances were the best positive for the film and Dustin Hoffman played one of his best roles he’s ever done as the lonely workaholic who has to take care of his son, as his wife separates from him. Billy, who is Hoffman’s son, played another great performance along with Meryl Streep, playing the depressed mother of Billy. Kramer vs. Kramer is not one of the greatest films and is not a perfect 10, but it succeeds in making the film worth watching and worth caring about it. Certainly, one of Hoffman’s best films he’s ever done. I highly recommend it.Hedeen’s Outlook: 9/10 ***+ A-
