10/10
A very special, deeply moving film
24 February 2012
One thing is perfectly clear from watching this diamond of a movie. The people who made this film, every person associated with it, absolutely love the medium of film. They recognize and, indeed, created, the magic that comes when a moving, riveting, very human story is told through brilliant performances of a splendid screenplay. This movie is a gift. Every single scene, every word of dialogue, is perfect. Every actor and every actress, no matter how large or how small his or her part, played his or her role stunningly and flawlessly. Most especially, Jamey Sheridan's performance should have earned him an Academy Award nomination.

All I can do is say "thank you" and "congratulations" to Bette Gordon, to Nicholas T. Proferes, to each and every actor and actress and to every individual who helped create this marvelous motion picture. I give a film a "10" when it is a movie that deeply moves me and that stays with me and, most dispositively, when I know I will watch it again and again. HANDSOME HARRY is a sure "10!"
