Good movie? Yes. Overrated? YES!

Rating: Null/10 (10 October 1999)

"The Silence of the Lambs" is nothing more than just a good movie. That's it. I don't particularly see this film as "oscar material" or anything of that sort. Kudos surely go out to Anthony Hopkins who did give an incredible performance, and same to Jodie Foster. Can't exactly say the same about Jonathan Demme, who cannibalized this picture, in the same way that Hannibal Lecter would, and threw it all into a clump of messed up garbage. Never, except in this instance, have I seen a director win so many awards that he didn't deserve at all.
This film is a good movie, but nevertheless a "B" movie. And it should have stayed that way.
