This is the story of Coleman Silk (Sir Anthony Hopkins), a classics professor with a terrible secret that is about to shatter his life in a small New England town. When his affair with young troubled janitor Faunia Farley (Nicole Kidman) is uncovered, the secret Silk had harbored for over fifty years from his wife, his children, and colleague, writer Nathan Zuckerman (Gary Sinise), fast explodes in a conflagration of devastating consequences. It is Zuckerman who stumbles upon Silk's secret and sets out to reconstruct the unknown biography of this eminent, upright man, esteemed as an educator for nearly all of his life, and to understand how this ingeniously contrived life became unravelled.
Leave your thoughts about The Human Stain.
| Nick's Flick PicksNick DavisA tricky adaptation of an unlikely novel that nevertheless goes almost as wrong as possible...prey to the most amateur varieties of structural and tonal errors. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonThe Human Stain has those qualities we often want but rarely see in our films: intelligence and ambition, decency and humanity, poetry and pity, fire and ice. Watch it and weep. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertMost movie characters are like Greek gods and comic book heroes: We learn their roles and powers at the beginning of the story, and they never change. Here are complex, troubled, flawed people, brave enough to breathe deeply and take one more risk with their lives. |
| Movie MomNell MinowPhilip Roth's ambitious and literary novel is awkwardly adapted for the screen. |
| FromTheBalconyBill ClarkThe acting is phenomenal (especially Harris), and the film will be a nice challenge for those in search of one. |
| Boston HeraldJames VerniereIt's a thought-provoking, unusually intelligent and well-acted film. |
| Apollo GuideJamie GilliesDespite its flaws, this adaptation is excellent. Gary Sinise steals the show. |
| Denver Rocky Mountain NewsRobert DenersteinIt's a well-intended failure. Benton may have been trying for an American tragedy, but it's possible he wound up with a sympathy card instead. |
| Contra Costa TimesMary F. PolsA scathing indictment of politically correct America and at the same time, a clear-eyed examination of the insidious evils of racism. |
| Flipside Movie EmporiumRob VauxThe Human Stain makes good use of its assets, yet the final product feels as soulless as Bad Boys II. |
