Nobody's Fool

9 years, 10 months ago at Jun 16 19:10
I’m all for any excuse to sit back and watch Paul Newman act. Nobody’s Fool is a late-period masterpiece of a performance from Newman. The movie surrounding it isn’t too shabby either, but the heart of the matter is that Nobody’s Fool operates best as a character portrait of a damaged man trying to make good. Or not so much “make good,” as he has change and the opportunity for growth a... read more

Description: Paul Newman earned an Oscar nomination (and won citations from the New York Film Critics Circle and the Berlin International Film Festival) for his performance in this well-drawn comedy-drama. Sully (Newman) is a 60-year-old man who emotionally seems to have never quite emerged from adolescence; scraping by on part-time work in construction, Sully has built a life around avoiding responsibility.

BradWesley123's Movie Journal- November 2018 (29 movies items)

" Starz- 1hr. 50min. First Viewing Robert Benton expertly tells a small, nuanced story of missed opportunities and regrets, how quickly a life can get away from you. He also illustrates one of the most realistic and natural visions of small town life in cinematic history. He's aided by a terrific cast, lead by, most importantly, Paul Newman in one of his finest performances. The film would, probably, work with another actor in the role, but it would be hard to fathom someone imbuing the whole fil"
