Scent Of A Woman is one of them films that really blows you away if you're not expecting it. Like The Place Beyond The Pines, I got so much more than I was expecting. Al Pacino has never had a better role since Godfather 1 & 2. He just BLOWS YOU AWAY, he is on top form. It's funny this is Chris O'Donnells best performance to date and yet it was one of his first! The running time is 150mins which scared me but I was gripped the whole time. I had to stop half an hour in due to the time but I just wanted to carry on so much. The story is amazing and even carries a moral message. It follows a young college student who goes to earn money by looking after a knowledgable blind war veteran while dealing with a big problem at school. It's captivating from start to finish. As I said early, and I cannot stress this enough, Al Pacino has hardly ever been better, he is breathtaking in every scene he is in. The whole mentor, student relationship is interesting throughout & Chris wasn't even a hinderance. There are so many amazing scenes in this movie. It is a classic for sure. It is the only film Al Pacino has ever won an oscar for, and you definitely see why. He is one of the greatest American actors who has ever lived. Overall, Al Pacino brings out an AMAZING performance, the supporting cast are excellent, the story and it's progression are amazing, a great score and a definite classic.

Genius! Unique and completely different from anything Marvel has done before. Elizabeth Olsen is phenomenal! She perfects every era! The show is funny, tense and heart wrenching! You won't be sorry!

Overall I really enjoyed the story and how it managed to keep the perfect balance between fantasy, mystery and grief. I'd certainly recommend it. However, in some scenes the acting could've been better. All the gazing especially annoyed me. I also feel like they should've given all the characters a small character arc, because now some of them ended up being quite forgettable.
