How sad is this?
Did you people see the same film I saw?
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
Once in every life , someone comes along this kind of certainly comes , but once in a lifetime
Philips99us wrote a good review: I agree fully with his opinion. What he noticed was just that what makes it a good film: interesting about what love can do to people in general. The dialogues, written by someone who knows his craft, are about what really matters in this film. Technically very well made on all aspects. Special attention was given to the soundtrack with beautifull songs. You could think sometimes: were they composed especially for this movie? Only one time I was amazed: why not a real kind of attention by the husband can be seen at the end of the movie to his wife when she (Meryl Streep) shows deep emotions in the car on the way home after seeing for the last time her love "for four days"? Fascinating acting by Clint Eastwood, once played a cowboy in Rawhide in the sixties... And also, as always, by Meryl Streep: what an art of acting: wonderfull!
Anyone who has been struck by the lightning bolt of an affair that came out of nowhere will identify 100% with this one. I had read the book many years ago, but never seen the film until this year (2018). Eastwood really has produced a classic masterpiece. As others have said, the (over)acting by the son which really grates a bit, but after the 'flash forward ' shots of his the relief and enjoyment of getting back to the sensitivity and passion of the affair is all the more enjoyable. The fact this film is still fresh and grips one's attention after nearly 25 years speaks volumes.
Movie is nothing comparing to book, but story is beautiful.
