'The Human Stain' is a beautiful and sensitive movie about racism, intolerance and prejudice, having a great direction and a magnificent performance of the excellent cast, highlighting Anthony Hopkins, Nicole Kidman, Ed Harris and Gary Sinise.
For all its shortcomings, The Human Stain is an honorable, sometimes moving attempt, better at evoking the poignancy of Silk's autumnal affair than exploring the moral ambiguities of his deception.
