When Hoffman happens onto some unsavory information about her fiance, he hatches a disturbing blackmail scheme. Presenting Janet with the information, Hoffman tells her that in return for spending a week with him, he will destroy the information. She agrees and proceeds to spend the week with the quietly psychotic Hoffman, who behaves like a perfect gentleman, never betraying his obsessive love. Disturbing and oddly moving, HOFFMAN is a powerful love story that features an unforgettable dramatic performance by Mr. Sellers. [More]

Reviews for Hoffman
Miss Smith's emotional transformation, which we're presumably expected to mirror, is hard to swallow and comes across more as a discomfiting Stockholm Syndrome breakdown than a tender opening of her eyes and heart.
