Method (Jon Voight) meets madness (Dustin Hoffman) in John Schlesinger's seamy 1969 buddy-buddy romance. The acting, showy and instinctual, is most of the movie; the visual style is too forced and chicly distended to let the drama acquire much natural life of its own. It's a film that expresses a great deal of disgust toward homosexuals, while placing a sympathetic homosexual relationship at its core. With Sylvia Miles, John McGiver, Brenda Vaccaro, and Barnard Hughes. R, 113 min.

Sorry there are no showtimes for Midnight Cowboy on Saturday, November 7.
