Wonderful

Rating: 10/10 (9 May 2019)

This is a wonderful movie. So well acted, well constructed, and perfectly directed that it is a joy to watch over and over again. Jodie Foster, Scott Glenn, and Anthony Hopkins are all excellent, as is Ted Levine and all of the supporting players. That said, I must also say that I was never even slightly disturbed by the character of Hannibal Lector or Hopkins' portrayal of him. Actually, Lechter's character is the only point in the movie that I felt leaned just a bit to unbelievability and silliness. Fortunately, Hopkins is such a good actor that he manages to pull it off without being laughable. Great movie. See it!
