Critic Reviews

There've been few screen moments more moving this year than Cruise's initial reaction to his brother's almost superhuman math prowess. [16 Dec 1988]Full Review

Mike Clark
USA Today

A film that is both touching and generous of spirit - and funny as well. [15 Dec 1988, p.A16(E)]Full Review

Julie Salamon
Wall Street Journal

Somehow, Hoffman makes all this hypnotically interesting, and, through impeccable timing, sometimes terribly funny--a sweet humor which never betrays Raymond's unalterable character. [16 Dec 1988]Full Review

How can you make a movie about a man who cannot change, whose whole life is anchored and defended by routine? Few actors could get anywhere with this challenge, and fewer still could absorb and even entertain us with their performance, but Hoffman proves again that he almost seems to thrive on impossible acting challenges.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

Though it's well directed, written and performed, Rain Main still slips irreversibly into the so-what category. [16 Dec 1988]Full Review
