The Human Stain --- A stain on the careers of these actors.

Date of Review:  Jan 25, 2005
The Bottom Line: The Human Stain is actually a stain on the motion picture industry rather than on the characters it portrays.
Review: Anthony Hopkins, Nicole Kidman, and Ed Harris are all great actors. They can carry a film, and with their sheer acting abilities, can turn any scene into a piece of art. However, sometimes even great actors cannot make a role work, and sometimes not...

The Human Stain (2003)

Date of Review:  Nov 4, 2003
The Bottom Line: .
Review: It might just be possible that Phillip Roth is the greatest American writer currently living - great not only for his talent as a wordsmith, but also for the sheer audacity and genius behind the rather massive list of books he has written. And among...

The Problem of the Color Line

Date of Review:  Jan 18, 2005
The Bottom Line: In the end I found The Human Stain an extremely thoughtful and thought-provoking tale that merits serious consideration.
Review: In 1900, noted Black American scholar and activist W.E.B. Du Bois prophetically stated, "[T]he problem of the 20th century is the problem of the color line."

One of the toughest things I have ever had to do in my life--and continue to do...

Identity Theft: The Human Stain

Date of Review:  Nov 7, 2003
The Bottom Line: Self important and absurd without reason.
Review:
Robert Benton's The Human Stain is an impossibly intrusive sobbing whine of a film that just won't go away quietly with what micro-specks of dignity it has left, nor improve itself with obligatory audience applauses, no matter how bad it is and...

EVEN WITH FLAWS, "STAIN" IS A POWERFUL FILM

Date of Review:  Nov 29, 2003
The Bottom Line: Although I acknowledge a few flaws, the story and the acting makes this a powerful film.
Review: My son and I saw this movie tonight (Saturday) at 7:15 p.m. Two other people were in the theatre. While 100's were watching the new idiotic Eddie Murphy "Disney" film of the month, and a number of other dismal movies, no one was watching Anthony...

Date of Review:  Feb 7, 2005

Review: Life is full of difficult decisions. It's also full of foolish mistakes that you wish you could undo.

Anthony Hopkins plays Coleman Silk. He's got a great position at a college that he is said to have taken from being mediocre to being...

The Human Stain - 2003

Date of Review:  May 23, 2008
The Bottom Line: "See the cemetery sky
Carmine red and deep
Watch the oceans rising high
It?s the human stain"
~ Kamelot
Review: Frankly, the thing that made this movie work for me was Nicole Kidman. While I have not been overly taken with most of her roles, I never doubted for one moment while watching her in this part that she was an overworked, gritty, nasty, abused,...

THAT OLD PERSECUTING SPIRIT

Date of Review:  Nov 1, 2003
The Bottom Line: Robert Benton's THE HUMAN STAIN is an utterly disappointing adaptation of the Phillip Roth novel, despite its sensational Oscar pedigree.
Review: "If you're looking for sympathy," a character states in THE HUMAN STAIN, "you've come to the wrong place." If viewers are searching for emotional eloquence, or a story even remotely rooted in tangible logic, they may best steer clear from theaters...

Take me out back and shoot me, but I ENJOYED THIS MOVIE!

Date of Review:  Mar 18, 2005
The Bottom Line: This is a movie that requires you to think, will depress you; will cause you pain, but it is an experience that is ultimately worth it. It is a masterpiece!
Review: I am shocked to see all the negative reviews that this movie amassed. After I watched The Human Stain, I was moved to such an extent that I honestly felt I had seen one of the best movies made in a long, long time. I have to admit that I did NOT...

Without roots, the tree withers

Date of Review:  Nov 6, 2005
The Bottom Line: A bittersweet romance between two mismatched people weighted with the miseries of their own pasts.
Review: THE HUMAN STAIN, much boiled down from Philip Roth's novel, is about the short, turbulent, retirement of Coleman Silk (Anthony Hopkins) and the poor, unhappy young woman (Nicole Kidman) who has entwined herself with him.

Coleman was the...
