Awesome all around the board, Jodie Foster delivers maybe one of the best cinematic performances of all time

Great movie with one of the best villains to ever exist. Anthony Hopkins eats up his screen time and everything else is amazing. Watch this!

A chilling and captivating crime-drama with plenty of stakes, tension, and a dreadful and truly terrifying villian. An obvious must-watch!

I describe it in three words: masterpiece, masterpiece and masterpiece! Hopkins stunning acting + detailed screenplay and engaging dialogue

Very chilling film! Anthony Hopkins is an amazing actor!✨

Great psychologic movie with always bounce backs. Only thing, I would have loved to see Hannibal as the main character, not Clarice.

One of the best thrillers I've ever seen; incredible acting, a captivating plot and brilliant filmaking assure its status as a masterpiece.

A masterclass from Anthony Hopkins,Truly a defining role in movie history he aces the role as Dr Hannibal Lector.
