Kramer vs. Kramer (1979)
Dustin Hoffman rocks & gets rocked in 1970's NYC Ad World
17 September 2007 - 8 out of 9 users found this review helpful.
This is probably the best cinematic depiction of life in a Manhattan ad agency: the pressure to perform; client and agency demands; the parties; the creativity; the money; the cool surface with powerful corporate undercurrents.
Toss in parenthood for Dustin Hoffman.
The movie is textured and deep. It follows his internal relationship as he tries to understand and live with what's going on; his relationship with Meryl Streep (and her friend, who becomes his friend), and his the relationship with his son.
While Meryl Streep was great, did she set the record for least screen time to win an Oscar? She sure can deliver when she is on, though.
