Sometimes you have to be thankful to Criterion Collection for their love of movies and how they bring them back to our attention. This is another one of those examples. While Kramer vs. Kramer is (rightfully) hailed as a great movie, this does not seem to come up as often when it comes to marriage and issues within that marriage than can occur.
Geena Rowlands is just mesmerizing in this. But Peter Falk holds his own. I and many others may know him for Columbo (great role), but he shines in this one too. So while the focus lies on Geena, there are quite a few actors who support her and the movie overall. I can't stress enough how amazing the end result is, even if you have to stick with the movie and be patient at times. Nothing can beat the patience Peter Falk is displaying of course, or rather his character. This tour de force is quite something. It will drain and exhaust you, by the end of it
