Keitel was dull as Jack Crawford. Mary Louise Parker doesn’t have much to do.  Plus there’s Emily Watson, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ralph Fiennes… that’s a lot of folks with Oscar nominations in one movie. As Lecter, Hopkins (who won for Silence of the Lambs) isn’t nearly is fun. Was everyone…

She needed them all!” which has become a favorite family memory. Now that daughter is 13 - same age as Riley in this film. She’s also already seen it twice in the theater. It’s that Pixar magic. …
