With the 4k, it looks like it was filmed yesterday.
It's been a very long time since I've seen this movie. I knew I liked it, but it'd been so long this felt like a blind purchase (like I'd never seen it). SO good! The acting is glorious, the writing is magnificent. I forgot how much I loved the soundtrack. Visually, it looks like it was filmed yesterday, with the 4k.

Great Product!
Great movie and good features. Blu-ray is very visually appealing, almost like watching it in a movie theater.

Even better than its original (Oscar winning) reception suggests--brilliant film.
Some people question the authenticity of Hoffman's portrayal of autism. Surely it is not a documentary, and Dustin Hoffman is an actor. I find his portrayal an amazing crystallization of the most important features of autism--the rigidity, the anxiety, the difficulty in making connection, the strange prosody, the panic in times of distress, the comfort in routines, the comfort in knowable facts. I am not at all bothered by his portrayal as a savant--his character does not need to be the poster child for the "typical" person with autism, especially as there is no such thing. The only complaints I have are the inference that all even high functioning adults are unsafe without supervision, and the false idea that persons with autism do not appreciate humor or are unable to understand any pragmatics such as how much something costs--just need experience like anyone else is all. A certain unnecessary infantilization if you will. The Vegas scene is Hollywood, as it must be, but I think pretty true to character--not all new and shiny environments have to be meltdown inducing every time--and certainly worth it for the fun of it.Another point where realism fails is the way the film regards the money. Charlie thinks Raymond will be rich for inheriting the three million. Very few families could in reality afford anything like the "Woodbrook" institution where Charlie finds Raymond, and all resources would be quickly depleted in keeping him there. The real dilemna facing modern families would be how to get any services at all for their struggling family member once they reach adulthood and leave school.Sounds like some original top reviewers of the film felt that Dustin Hoffman's performance was "virtuosic but to little effect" (I think that was Vincent Camby). They felt an amazing portrayal of human behavior was of lesser value if that character did not change or emote visibly in front of us in the dramatic manner and predictable arc to which they are accustomed. I feel that VERY much reflects a certain intolerance, bigotry if you will, of neurodiversity. I think it's wrong and unobservant to state that Raymond did not change, its just that his changes were kept understated and internal, which Dustin Hoffman deserves all accolades for staying true to character with. Tom Cruise as well was ideally cast and the chemistry between the two was just excellent. Apparently the two of them worked on it together for over two years, and it shows. I think it's an amazing, almost perfect, very moving film.

Great Movie…Subpar 4k Picture
This is a great movie. Dustin Hoffman did a legendary acting job in this one. Tom Cruise was excellent also. There is a reason it won four Academy awards. For movie details, see other reviews.The reason for a 4 star review is the 4k picture quality. It is not that good. It is actually slightly blurry at times. Make sure it is on sale for a real good price before you buy it.
