This is a well-deserved Oscar and, more importantly, one that I can understand. Maybe a bit too long at times and, personally, [spoiler] I think the disciplinary hearing was too much. That speach about what's wrong with the school, the system, about punishing a young man for not selling out - althought well played - it felt to much of an urge to sell a morale. It did not fit in with the rest of the story. [/spoiler] But overall well worth watching.

I found it kinda of masterpiece..Great messages nice soundtrack brilliant directing and ofcourse one of the best acting perfomances i have ever seen from an actor.Al Pacino at his best he really deserved an easy oscar! Don't miss this one i liked everything about it 8.8/10

Whoo-Ha!! Al Pacino pulled this role off to a tee!! Could have been a bit shorter, but still a great movie.

The first 30 minutes are funny, the last 15 minutes are glorious. For the remaining 1h 45m Al Pacino plays a utterly unlikable, insufferable, bitter, blind asshole. I almost quit, at least the ending was good.

"The day we stop lookin', Charlie, is the day we die." I still don't know why I have always thought this was a romantic comedy and combined it with the running time and me reading that Al Pacino didn't deserve his Oscar for this role, was what made me put off watching this movie for so long. But today I was scrolling our good old friend Netflix and saw that Scent of a Woman was leaving July 15th, so I thought what the hell. And here we are, I have finally seen Scent of a Woman and now I understand those Al Pacino impressions better. Al Pacino is good here but he has done so much better which shows us how legendary the guy is and I was even surprised by Chris O'Donnell. He's great in the hotel room scene where Frank (Al Pacino) is in the dark. Great stuff. And even in the small role Philip Seymour Hoffman shows us how good he was. Anyway, the movie could've been, should've been a bit shorter in my opinion but we still go from great scene to great scene. The airplane ride, the thanksgiving diner scene, the blind driving, the tango scene, the scene after Al Pacino saved Chuck's ass when political science professor Christine Downes walks up to them and big dramatic scene in the hotel room. Scent of a Woman is a movie you should check it if you haven't seen it yet, I put it off for so long and I still can't believe why but you get Al Pacino and some amazing scenes. HOOAH!
