KRAMER VS. KRAMER (1979) dir. R. BENTON

Precedes the yuppie family crisis tear-jerkers the 80s perfected; many scenes feel stock now because they became stock later. Streep seems leashed here before her career supernova, but Hoffman’s about as human as you could ask. Addendum: why have I never acknowledged Mark Mothersbaugh’s blatant Vivaldi concerto rip-offs until now?
