SurvivorAlways 7 @MyLife4Me79 4d I’ve seen this movie so many times since I was a teenager and I still cry every single time. Robert Redford and Barbara Streisand are absolutely perfect in this and the song… OMG the song could not be more perfect. I am always a sobbing mess by the end. Watch with a box of tissues and someone you love. See more George W @georgeblaise Aug 19 One of the worst movies ever made. Some scenes were so bad they were inadvertently laugh out loud funny.

See more Pedro S @Urbanity Jul 27 This movie was impressive, not wanting to watch it I found myself unable to pull away. Streisand's performance was so strong, so interesting as an insatiable liberal woman with a hunger for perceived righteousness. She falls in love with an artistic jock, a very assured man about things in life which was the complete opposite of Streisand's character. It gives you gut punch as you want happiness for Streisand because you understand her struggles, she's a pleaser, but also a fighter, a softy but a warrior, confident but also insecure, yet, long term happiness is unattainable for her. She loves a man (Redford) who loves her characteristics and uniqueness, but not her "style". Ultimately their relationship is doomed, but neither lost their deep seeded love for each other. Great movie!! See more chris m @chriss17eu Sep 23 redford and streisand, a duo you didn’t know you needed. it didn't start as my favorite, but it ends up being a truly great movie. barbra streisand proves here that she is not only an iconic voice, but also an actress with a screen presence that very few achieve. she conveys intensity, vulnerability, and passion in every scene. robert redford, as always, stands out with a measured, magnetic, and absolutely convincing performance. the story is moving and captivating, one that gradually draws you in. the dialogues are so well written that you feel part of the relationship, experiencing each argument, every intimate moment, every disagreement. it is also appreciated that the movie gives politics the necessary space: it is not just a backdrop, but a key element highlighting the protagonists’ ideological contradictions and shaping their lives. regarding narrative development, it is among the most solid i have ever witnessed. nothing is excessive, nothing is missing; each scene contributes something, each transition feels organic and necessary. the soundtrack, precise and enchanting, accompanies subtly and enhances the emotional impact without overwhelming. a finale that leaves you wanting to keep following these characters even though the story has ended. 'the way we were' is, ultimately, a human and moving tale, combining the intimate and the political in a work of enormous sensitivity. spanish: redford y streisand, un conjunto que no sabías que necesitabas. no empezó siendo mi favorita, pero acaba convirtiéndose en una grandísima película. barbra streisand demuestra aquí que no solo es una voz icónica, sino también una actriz con una fuerza en pantalla que muy pocos logran. transmite intensidad, fragilidad y pasión en cada escena. robert redford, como siempre, sobresale con una interpretación medida, magnética y absolutamente convincente. la historia es emocionante y cautivadora, de esas que te atrapan poco a poco. los diálogos están tan bien construidos que uno siente que forma parte de la relación, viviendo de cerca cada discusión, cada momento íntimo, cada desencuentro. se agradece, además, que la película dé a la política el espacio necesario: no es un simple telón de fondo, sino un elemento clave que subraya las contradicciones ideológicas de los protagonistas y marca el rumbo de sus vidas. en cuanto al desarrollo narrativo, es de los más sólidos que he podido presenciar. nada sobra, nada falta; cada escena aporta algo, cada transición se siente orgánica y necesaria. la banda sonora, precisa y encantadora, acompaña con sutileza y realza la emotividad sin saturar. un final que deja con ganas de seguir acompañando a esos personajes aunque la historia haya llegado a su fin. 'tal como éramos' es, en definitiva, un relato humano y conmovedor, que une lo íntimo y lo político en una obra de enorme sensibilidad. See more Read all reviews
