Most of the best scenes are very quiet, carefull wording of sentences or responses to actions. I meantione Newman, because he is grand for this role, but every other actor seems to do a wonderful job, including some I haven't seen for a while.

EmanuelLevy.com (Emanuel Levy)
In Benton's low-key tale, Paul Newman gives one of his best performances as an aging loser, a construction worker who's made "nothing" of his life; divorced and alientaed from his kids, he lives in the house of his old teacher (the great Jessica Tandy) ...read the complete Nobody's Fool movie review at EmanuelLevy.com (Emanuel Levy)

JoBlo's Movie Emporium ("JoBlo")
Here's yet another one of those small-town movies that I love watching over and over again. Paul Newman stars in this film about a guy who basically f**ked up during his whole life (left his family, avoided responsiblities, etc..), and must now come to ...read the complete Nobody's Fool movie review at JoBlo's Movie Emporium ("JoBlo")
Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)
Sitting in the dark, watching Paul Newman's performance in "Nobody's Fool," I jotted down the word "humility." It seemed to be the word that fit best. He is onscreen in virtually every ...read the complete Nobody's Fool movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)
