This is a great performance from Pacino, who has the good luck here to work with Goldmans mostly wonderful, edgy script.

When all Pacinos demons are bared, they dont add up to the poignant punchline you were set up for.

Scent of a Woman has little more going for it than Pacinos strength of personality. This is no Last Tango in New York.

If theyd made it half an hour shorter and re written the ending, it could have been a great one.

When hes at his most disagreeable and irascible, embarrassing friends and family for his own amusement, hes still uncannily watchable.

They succeed in turning a relatively contrived situation into a terrific showcase for Mr. Pacinos talents.
