Sophie's Choice leads Kramer. Historical trauma edges domestic grief.
The Verdict Neck and Neck
This matchup has 16 votes. The picture may shift as more people weigh in.
Sophie's Choice leading Kramer vs. Kramer says the larger scale of suffering carries more weight, though the margin suggests it's not by much. Pakula's film has Streep's most celebrated performance at its center, and the scene that gives the film its name is one of the most harrowing in American cinema. You don't recover from watching it, which is the kind of thing that matters in a voting format. Kramer vs. Kramer has Hoffman at his most human, learning domesticity through failure, and the courtroom scenes have a quiet devastation of their own. But historical trauma outweighs domestic grief when both are executed at this level.
