rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author flipperoid - There are very few movies that you would want to watch over and over again on a deserted island, but for me, I think this is the movie I would hope to bring with me. Scent of a Woman comes off as clichéd and corny, but this is probably the absolute most...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JazzcatCB - There are few films that I consider to be truly great. I don't mean 'great' in the pedestrian sense of "that's great." I'm talking "true greatness."

Scent of a Woman has true greatness.

It has everything that a timeless...

mvie mu-1042193: not much in this one

Wed, 15 Nov 2000 22:03:09 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Korova - The great skill in "Scent" is that we grow to like a pretty unlovable man. The problem with that is, he's played by Al Pacino, and of course we're going to like him. Not that Pacino doesn't play him well, he plays him very well, but if the Lt Col had...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Steve_Yu - Based on a 1975 Italian film of the same title, Scent of a Woman was made and directed by James Brest. The film has a trite plot with unexpected twists and turns to dazzle and introduce the audience to a new theme.

Mon, 29 May 2000 20:44:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author srfeiger - For the 1st 1/2 hour of this film I couldn't figure out why Pacino won an academy award for it. It seemed like Al Pacino playing Al Pacino: cold, unresponsive, unfeeling, always in control. But I was wrong. This character did have some depth, although...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jsts25 - I saw the scent of a woman just recently (Yeah I know I am a little behind). But this was one of the most touching movies I have seen in a long time. Al Pacino portrayed a blind man so well. You saw in his face he was truly blind. He used his other...

Fri, 10 Dec 1999 14:17:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rmcushman - If Al Pacino were not enough alone to dial into this fast-banter stroll through middle age of a hard-edged retired marine, then the synergy between Pacino's character and youthful Chris O'Donnell is. Pacino is a rounder, a hustler, obnoxious to the core...

mvie mu-1042193: This "Scent" Stinks!

Mon, 6 Dec 1999 16:52:42 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Paneless - I don't like my protagonists to be scrubby, flawed characters. I wish them to be strong, intelligent, cunning and brave. Al Pacino in "Scent of a Woman" is none of the above, and that doesn't even bother me all that much.

Mon, 25 Oct 1999 17:59:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author teddiec - Don't let the misleading title of this movie put you off. Far from being about the way a woman smells, this is a well written movie about 2 men, polar opposites ( it would seem) each struggling with life choices. One is plagued with a moral crisis while...
