George A. from SouthEast Michigan

This is the greatest family drama of all time. I mean they made the mother the villain! Think of the chance they were taking. Besides Elliott in ET, Timothy Hutton gives the greatest juvenile performance of all time. I mean come on, he won the Oscar. Mary Tyler Moore took such a chance playing this role. This film beat Raging Bull for the Best Picture Oscar, and why? Because it made people feel, deeply. When I saw this movie in 1980 twice the audience was in tears. When they left the theater there was silence. The music was awesome. Kramer vs. Kramer and American Beauty don't even compare to this FILM.
