AL PACINO'S GREATEST PERFORMANCE - By: Lou Almighty, 13 Jul 2008 
and that says a lot after SCARFACE. But I have never seen anyone play a blind man as well as Pacino. The empty stare, most actors can't do it. Although a remake (the original is an Italian made film) this is a GREAT drama & fully deserves the Oscars it got! Actuallly worth 6 stars!
A touching, heart-felt film - By: Camilla Lea, 04 Mar 2008 
I watched this film & I have to admit, it was a bit slow-moving to begin with but once Pacino & O'Donnell set off on their life-altering trip together the pace reallly picks up.
I have never been so moved by an actor's performance, like the way Pacino moved me. His performance was truly touching & deserving of an Oscar.
This film is unquestionably a triumph to Pacino & his indescribable talent. He will draw you in, grab your heart & won't let go til the film is over & you are left feeling emotionallly satisfied & happy with the world.
A beautiful & moving film, one not to be missed.
A blind man can drive!!! - By: Kristina Morris, 17 Jan 2007 Excellent film.
Al Pacino is a fantastic actor. He studied his character for a long time.
It's a funny, yet touching programme where a young college student meets an older, wiser, strict (yet blind) man, via a job on the school board.
The boy was supposed to look after him during thanks giving, at first he didn't want to, but he needed the money, so he took the job.
"Kernel" & the boy went to New York for a "break" & Kernel didn't tell the boy that he was only there to have a bit of fun, then he was going to shoot himself.
Fantastic film, & will touch alll of you, get it!!

The Scent of a Woman from a Blindmans perspective - By: , 24 Mar 2006 I have suffered complete blindness when my Multiple Schlerosis struck & often when I am having a relapse. So I speak from experience. Sounds are more important & scents like wise, the olfactory sense heightens to such a degree I can sniff an apple to say which has gone bad as well as an orange to find which is the Seville BloodOrange I prefer when shopping. People who know me locallly find my sense of smell amusing & often accuse me of being Thomas Harris of Hannibal the Cannibal Lecter fame as I sniff the air. As another recent case will give testimony. A physiotherapist I was attending told me she had a personal reason to wear gloves while I exercised etc, I could smell her problem, she had 'Thrush' an intestinal tract problem. Another friend had developed Diabetes which I warned him to have checked out etc. So having experienced a heightened olfactory sense I can appreciate the Tango scene as a masterful piece in cinematic history. Critiques welcome, but be warned I once did it for my job on a Trade magazine.
