      • Sep 09, 2018

        This was a quite a slow and sombre film but it was incredibly directed by Eastwood. The film has that old stylish storytelling that is lacking in modern filmmaking, it is heart wrenching even though at its core is an over the top plot. This is one of those times you must go with the plot and not pick it apart, there are holes but at its centre is two master actors at the height of there careers. I thought this was going to be a boring love piece and avoided it for this reason but I must say it is an adult focused film that is incredible. If you are lacking the adult focused drama that the 80s and 90s was quite excellent at producing, this is one of those films that you need to see. Eastwood as both the star and filmmaker exceeds, but Streep is the anchor of the film. 08/09/2018.

        A perfectly executed film.

        It is deep and sentimental films like this one that make me realize how good I am listening to people. And both characters revealed their true hearts in a way that amazes. More interesting than their random anecdotes was how each spoke about him/herself. It is about "listening between the lines", if you can say. 78/100

        Same as the book, boring and cliche
