      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      This road-trip movie about an autistic savant and his callow brother is far from seamless, but Barry Levinson's direction is impressive, and strong performances from Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman add to its appeal.

      Chris Bennion Times (UK) Now its portrayal of autism is seen as somewhat crude. However, there is no denying the power of the story and of Dustin Hoffman’s Oscar-winning performance as Raymond Babbitt. Jan 2, 2024 Full Review Edward Porter Times (UK) Yet his [Tom Cruise's] charisma is what keeps Barry Levinson’s film running smoothly. Feb 27, 2023 Full Review Jay Scott Globe and Mail It's the Christmas picture that cares, the UNICEF epic, and that must explain why no one seems to notice, or to care, that from minute to minute. the story itself is second-hand hokum. Aug 8, 2022 Full Review James Kendrick Q Network Film Desk the pairing of Hoffman and Cruise was lightning in a bottle, although on the surface it seemed like an utterly incongruous pairing Rated: 3.5/4 Oct 8, 2023 Full Review Barbara Beck Philadelphia Daily News Dustin Hoffman's portrayal of Raymond is light years away from the big lunk Lenny in Of Mice and Men or the deaf-mute girl in Johnny Belinda. It is, quite simply, the most memorable, impassioned performance of the year. Sep 13, 2023 Full Review Mark Johnson Awards Daily Rain Man is a delightful and sentimental film about two brothers reconnecting and reconciling Jun 27, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
