The acting was genius. Simply to put it the 2 greatest acted out performances are in hat movie, both F Murray Abrams Role & Tom Hulce both played their roles to perfection. The acting was stunning. Watching Hulce go from a Joking happy soul to a crazed totured alcholic was simply to put it, un comparable. Abrahams role was played out with some sort of unique seduction in comparision, cold hearted to the chill, incredible.
