Truly amazing. Beautiful storyline and great acting, with Meryl Streep.
Emotional drama with great leads and wonderful lanscapes.
A true story through the lens of a good director. I loved it.
Slow but beautiful story about love, money and life.
Considered a classic but I think I got to it too young.
Sweeping romantic melodrama has plenty to enjoy. Streep is immaculate as always. Redford is effective as the patron saint of masculinity.
Great classic romance movie. If you liked "The Bridges of Madison County," you'll love this. Redford and Streep. What more can I say?
Didn't see all of this as it's way too long, only appreciated the soundtrack by the legendary John Barry more than anything else!
Beyond slow and a hard watch due to the lack of chemistry or believability of the two leads. Gorgeous production however
Beautiful and a bit moody, but very good.
