Customer Reviews of Orphans
A Must See For Anybody With Taste I first saw Orphan(1987) in 1988 as a rental. It was recomended to me by a friend who honestly I thought had no taste in movies and had suggested many stinkers to me before. Well I guess even a broken clock is right twice a day, and he was right that day. I happened to be at the video store the other day and noticed this sitting in the video bargain bin for a buck. "All that came to mind was that was a good movie". After watching it again some fifteen years later I was wrong that was a great movie. An Acting Toure De Force starring Matthew Modine, Albert Finney, and Kevin Anderson and all are excellent. Perfectly directed by Alan Pakula, the same Director that directed All The President's Men, Sophies Choice and Klute. If you are a guy in search of a good movie you can't go wrong with Orphan's (1987). I can't believe this is not out on DVD release as of the writing of this comment. Don't those studio heads know what good films are.
"Masterpiece!"
Lyle Kessler's great stage play comes alive on screen. Set in New Jersey about two orphan brothers who face the tragedy's of everyday life. A very powerful and disturbing film! Has the greatest emotional breakdown scene by Matthew Modine.
Matthew Modine should of received an Oscar for this!!
An excellent film, that is at turns disturbing and sad. Matthew Modine is an actor that has been underrated in his career, and he surely shines in this role. In this film, his character (Treat) is hardened by his impoverished upbringing. However, the presence of Harold (Albert Finney) is a catalyst for Treat, to finally reveal emotions and to prevent self destruction. Great performances all round - particularly from Modine.
