Hands down my favorite movie of all time. I may be biased since Meryl Streep is my favorite actress. But if one thinks about the twists and decisions made in the story, only then will the real beauty of it be... Full review

On the page "The Bridges of Madison County" often read like a reject from Mills and Boon and yet it was tremendously popular. People who normally wouldn't read this sort of thing were not only reading it but quoting it.... Full review

This is my favorite movie of all times. It is a great love story. It is real, so many people stay in a relationship due to obligation, children, comfort zone, security, financial reasons instead of following their heart. They love the... Full review

Clint Eastwood is very understated. I truly believe it is Eastwood's performance that got Streep an Oscar nomination. This is a classic story of a woman left alone for a time and considers the greener grass on the other side of... Full review

And it's probably the sweetest film he's made, too....if you will, and as such it's probably the gentlest film Eastwood has ever made.....Instead, we get clear, well-focused medium shots, a few close-ups, and a simple jazz-inflected score by Lennie Niehaus.....he's largely content to point his camera in the right direction.... ...

Which is probably what this lousy, tedious movie deserved.
Bridges mistakes extended character development for good character development.
Well, maybe I can gripe a little, if just because we expect more from two such notable actors.

The flashfowards are mercifully brief and easy to forgive since the rest of The Bridges of Madison County is so good.
Unlike a more male picture, the script never vilifies the absent spouse.

For the final problem that besets "The Bridges of Madison County," the problem that no amount of talent can make go away, is that Robert Kincaid is about as real a person as Little Lord Fauntleroy, a wish-fulfillment cartoon of masculinity whose success as a fantasy figure led directly to the book's enormous financial success but creates believability problems when transferred to the screen. ...
