Scent of a Woman: Pacino's Best Vehicle!

Date of Review:  Mar 22, 2001
The Bottom Line: I f you want to see Al Pacino at his boisterous best, watch this character study!
Review: Scent of a Woman (1992)

Al Pacino puts in a bravura performance as Lt. Col. Frank Slade, a blinded veteran who lives in a modest house out back behind his in-laws place somewhere in New England. The setting is Thanksgiving and the in-laws...

Sentimental, Saint-hood, and the Senses.

Date of Review:  Jun 19, 2003
The Bottom Line: Bottom line, "Scent of a Woman" is a good entertaining movie to add to your collection.
Review: Unfortunately our local "Mom & Pop" video store is going out of business, but on a positive note they are selling used videos for a real steal. I purchased Scent of a Woman (1992) for only $1.00 dollar. Anytime I can get a movie starring Oscar...

The tango has never looked better

Date of Review:  Oct 25, 1999
Review: 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...

"HOO-AH!"

Date of Review:  Oct 23, 2000
Review: After renting this movie several times and each time being forced to return it without watching it, we finally succeeded in watching it. Mom and I went into having no idea of what the movie was about. All we knew was that it was a movie that Dad had...

Pacino is brilliant

Date of Review:  Mar 27, 2000
Review: "Scent of a Woman" contains one of the most brilliant and beautifully told stories ever captured on modern cinema. Al Pacino lights up the screen as he always does, this time playing a blind, retired US Army officer named Frank Slade. Frank lives a...

Scent of a Woman: A riveting story of hope, and redemption from despair

Date of Review:  Mar 26, 2002
The Bottom Line: A rare and beautiful movie about how one man is lost in despair, and how a younger man helps him find his way. Outstanding in every respect.
Review: 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 classic...

Lets feel good about ourselves today

Date of Review:  May 21, 2006
The Bottom Line: A wonderful film with a refreshing script waiting to be discovered again.
Review: 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 cliched and corny, but this is probably the absolute...

The 'Scent' of success

Date of Review:  Jul 2, 2000
Review: Frank Slade is embarking on his ideal Thanksgiving weekend: a first-class flight to New York; a room at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel; dining at expensive restaurants; a personal limousine; a beautiful woman; a bullet in the head. Frank's weekend is the...

One Of Al Paccino's best

Date of Review:  Jan 31, 2000
