Pacino received a well-deserved Oscar. An excellent blend of drama, comedy and heart-rending sympathy and respect for a blind man who wrestles with and overcomes adversity and his own demons. The Tango scene with Pacino and Anwar is one of the greatest scenes I have ever seen and will tear your heart. The scene at the Thanksgiving dinner table is a little sad, but also very funny in certain respects. Anwar is delectable as Pacino's young Tango partner. Pacino's speech defending O'Donnell at his school disciplinary hearing is searing and uplifting.
