Where to Watch Sidney (Hard Eight)
- Tyler S6 de julio de 2026I have a predilection for father/son themed stories in movies, (Field of Dreams is one of my favs and I know almost nothing about baseball) and Hard Eight delivers that vibe in an original way. The cast is stacked, I love Philip Baker Hall's quiet and understated performance as Sydney, his kind and patient scenes with John are why I come back every couple of years for a re-watch. Philip Seymour Hoffman shows up for one scene and as expected just bursts off the screen, I laugh out loud every time. At 24 PTA shows restraint and a sense of style far beyond his years. It's a shame Rysher Entertainment basically buried the movie and a lot of PTA fans have never seen or even heard of his gem of a debut feature. 👍👍 8.5/10
- James Saenz2 de octubre de 2025“never ignore a man’s courtesy.” promising neo-noir start with an interesting midpoint development that ultimately leads to a mostly flat back half. philip baker hall carries the narrative to its conclusion with a stellar performance, but he’s not the most memorable philip in this picture either. i also don’t quite know how to come to terms with how the film depicts women, especially with clementine’s relationship to john.
