David Thomson

“Her work in Tootsie was clever, gracious, and appealing—no more than a dozen others could have managed.”

David Thomson
A Biographical Dictionary of Film
Third Edition (1994), p. 420

Generally, however, Thomson was a great admirer of Lange's work of the period. I am attempting to lead with his quote, though, since to some extent I agree with him, but for some moments such as her reading of the reconciliation line at the end, "...Do you still have that little yellow dress...?"
