Excellent job by Russell and Jennifer

Rating: 10/10 (23 January 2002)

Oscar performances here, folks.
Russell Crowe's portrayal of a man blessed by brilliance and cursed by schizophrenia is absolutely fantastic. And Jennifer Connelly's performance as the woman who comes to love and marry him, and stand by him during his illness, is also fantastic. Both of these talented actors have really reached down inside and pulled something extra out for this movie and I think both of them are going to get Oscars for their work. If they don't, shame on Hollywood.
