Midnight Cowboy Ratings & Reviews

  • RyezooFebruary 14, 2025
    Topped by a fantastic performance by Dustin Hoffman, this film gets down and dirty. Two hustlers down on their luck try to make it in the big city and make their way to Florida. This movie didn’t live up to the hype of being an Oscar winner. I thought the movie was made extremely well for the time period and that it definitely was interesting throughout. I felt for Joe and his trials of unpleasantness he went through. I feel like both characters could of been fleshed out a little more and defiantly wasn’t a fan of the ending. This is still solid but was just hoping for a little more.
