John Mahoney needs a retroactive Best Supporting Actor for this one.

Bonus star for Haskell Wexler's cinematography. But it loses a 1/2 star each for Bernstein's NATURAL rip-off score and the ridiculous final scene.

Perfect movie for eight-year-olds who are also college students.

Kind of thought of this as second-tier Scorsese—second tier being a still pretty high perch—until this recent rewatch. When I got to the monologue I felt like I was watching pretty much a perfect movie.
