Drew M. @Stonehands211 Mar 30 This one did not really work for me much at all, unfortunately. Good ideas of a story but not really mind all that well. There was a lot left on table I thought. The screenplay and direction made Hurt and Turner seem like bad actors somehow. See more Melissa L @Agent99 Jan 30 It was okay, but I was hoping for a different ending. See more Leaburn O @RT35452347 07/07/2024 A solid romance drama with a bit of dark humour. Fairly adult interpretation of relationships rather than glossy Hollywood storyline. Not too bad and has aged ok. Watched on DVD after searching for it for a while. See more 01/28/2023 So frustrating watching William Heard’s character for me. Like Andy said in Shawshank Redemption “get bus living or get busy dying”. Very unique characters. Kathleen Turner is a movie star. This movie made me fall in love with Geena Davis See more Voice O @Buff1980 05/24/2022 Dated, boring, odd. The other characters orbit around Macon as if they were paper cut outs on a baby's mobile leaving the impression that only Macon's experience and emotions are real. Then there are the subtle misogynistic undertones such as "like a mother saying 'eat, eat' all those courses forced on you", and that every female character is in some way controlling, bossy, detached or aggressive, and, all the while assuming what men want and think instead of asking them. What's left that is redeemable may have camouflaged the film's faults in the 80's, but today those highlights are overshadowed like mushrooms on a forest floor. See more 12/01/2021 One of the many themes: parents dealing with the loss of a child and the lingering effects and damage to their relationship. How people can fall back into familiar patterns that don't serve them well as they age. The ability of an individual to love an eccentric person---to not see flaws but these qualities as essential to the individuality of that person. That a person can feel safer disclosing their inner most pain and feelings with someone who is almost a stranger than their partner in marriage. There is a lot to this movie, and much of it able to be funny or amusing. See more Read all reviews
