2 acting legends working together. Hoffman in other movies was the archetypal villain and always played it well, so him playing a drag queen had me thinking this probably won't work. He was an acting genius and this showed his incredible range of talent. De Niro, another legend, playing the frustrating part of a homophobic retired cop struck down with a stroke, bought a lump to my throat and i felt for his character stuck in his paralysed world. Truly, a moving and wonderful, must see film. Funny, moving and very emotive film. Legends.
