Scarecrow

...simply a masterpiece of the American new wave, a rangy, freewheeling tragicomedyin which Hackman and Pacino give effortlessly charismatic performances.

It's a virtuoso piece of acting by Hackman and Pacino...

The goddamn crows may indeed be laughing, but the abiding tone of Scarecrow is far from comedy...

It's fascinating to watch...Pacino...work, especially with the knowledge of the work he'd go on to do...

...Vilmos Zsigmond’s superb lensing shines through – but it’s the two vibrant leads who most command attention.
