Eli H Quality movie, it's cast is phenomenal with peak performances from Kevin Kline, Tom Berenger and Glenn Close, even some early Jeff Goldblum. I'd put its soundtrack up against Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs for the best I've ever heard, but outside of that this is just another slice of life movie. The cast does the heavy lifting while the camera work and plot opt for conventionality. This is a movie that does nothing wrong, but doesn't do much that's special. It is ultimately a forgettable movie you can watch on a rainy Tuesday. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/09/25 Full Review Melissa L There are high ratings for this one so I had high expectations. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. I didn't like it, and I wouldn't recommend it. VERY overrated and a big disappointment. I usually like '80s movies...not this one. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/27/25 Full Review Richard L Hard to beat, if you're a semi-normal American who came of age in the second half of the twentieth century. And that's if you don't even consider the amazing soundtrack. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/21/25 Full Review Lyn G Great movie about how life evolves. Always love watching William Hurt. The beginning for so many great actors. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/13/25 Full Review Christian K Struggled to get through this one as I didn't really connect with the story or characters. Performances and script is all good but I dunno. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/22/25 Full Review Paul L I first watched the Big Chill when I was of a similiar age to the characters. I was married young kids and trying to make my way in the world, somewhere between the steadiness of the married couple and the unsettled lives of other characters. All the while holding on to old school friends out of a sense of loyalty but knowing life has moved on and that some of them will no longer be part of my future except in my memory. People come and people go throughout life and it is only now I’ve come to realise the wonderful friends I’ve had, many of whom just played small cameos, friends at school for a few years, a year or two at work where we drank and played. Now like one of the characters here, I loved many of my friends growing up, they all had a time and place. So tonight as a hardened old bugger I admit I had a little tear in my eye knowing I have been through all that was ahead of the characters in this movie. I’ve made it this far but we kinda know this mob will never have another reunion. They had all moved on already. Only the music remains.
