All the French food (movies) tastes the same. You either love them or hate them.

Remember that shocking feeling when Hoffman threw a glass at wall in Kramer vs. Kramer ? Triple it and that is CUSTODY. Captivating, a suspense full of human nature hence it is so menacing. It leads you to take someone’s side, and theRemember that shocking feeling when Hoffman threw a glass at wall in Kramer vs. Kramer ? Triple it and that is CUSTODY.
