In Philadelphia Hanks played a gay lawyer with AIDS
who sues his firm for discrimination
(Hanks lost thirty-five pounds and thinned his hair
in order to appear sickly for the role.)
In a review for People, Leah Rozen stated
"Above all, credit for "Philadelphia's" success belongs to Hanks,
who makes sure that he plays a character, not a saint.
He is flat-out terrific, giving a deeply felt,
carefully nuanced performance that deserves an Oscar."
