 Hoffman
Dustin Hoffman, two time Academy Award winner for Best Actor (Rain Man 1988, Kramer vs. Kramer, 1979) brings into acute focus the tragic figure of night club comedian, satirist and 60’s cult hero, Lenny Bruce.
The problem with Lenny, which is a very taut and powerful drama done in semi-documentary style and a perfectly satisfactory piece of entertainment until you begin to think about it, is that it makes him far too much of a social pathfinder/victim and far too little of a son of a bitch.
Dustin Hoffman gives what is almost certainly his greatest performance yet, and when I first saw and heard him up there I got chills because he sounded and looked so much like Bruce, but he also misses the essence of the man he's portraying.
