Test T I watched this on DVD recently. Overall, I found the film very uneven and a bit too long. It had some very good scenes which I really enjoyed, but at other times I felt that the film was relying too much on the things that were being left unsaid which I found frustrating and confusing. This was particularly prevelent towards the ending which I found very dissappointing. Along the way there were times when I was completely immersed by the story, and then other times when I felt bored and excluded. I'm quite surprised that these issues were not sorted out in the final edit, which could have resulted in a much better film. All the key ingredients like the cast, story and location are there, but the way they come together is often unsatisfying for the viewer. I don't think it's a terrible film, but I think it falls far short of it's potential. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/25 Full Review Jay D Don't listen to the so called experts about this movie. For me this movie is a joy and pure magic by the legendary Robert Redford. Stories like these get panned because the critics can't hear the unspoken that speaks to their heart & soul. Maybe they don't have a heart & soul. All I can tell you is this is, without a doubt, one of my fondest movies I have ever witnessed. After watching this for the first time my mom asked me how many awards it took home. It's very family friendly, it's pure movie magic. If this had been made in the 1950s, it would be considered a pure classic! Sit back in your favorite chair and ENJOY! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/25 Full Review Jerod S The story would've popped with all of these A-listers, but Redford settled for directing a movie with bad lines. Like a Hallmark on roids. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/12/24 Full Review Dani G Even though I can't label it as bad, it is dull. Boring and slow with no charm Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/04/24 Full Review Matt D This is such a wonderful movie. This movie hits hard if you’ve ever lost your way in life, lost a love one or simply love the game of golf. The movie takes place after the Great Depression and tells a bigger story than the game of golf. If you watch this movie and can fight back the tears or walk away not believing in the spirit of humanity or how there is something bigger than “us” in this universe, this movie isnt for you. I don’t know how critics can dog this movie or not give it at least 3 stars. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/11/24 Full Review Melodie W I don't understand all the haters. I thought it was an excellent movie. The cinematography, the actors, period costumes, and scenery bring you back in time to 1930s Savannah. Enjoyed Bobby Jones' character and the actor that played him. Matt, Will & Charlize all give great performances. Loved the intertwining wisdom of Baggar Vance (Baghavad Gita) with Golf and Life.
