Peter Stack San Francisco Chronicle Director Bruce Beresford's family drama doesn't delve very deep, but Finney's performance is extraordinary. Rated: 3/4 Jan 11, 2023 Full Review Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle Rated: 2.5/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Households like this exist only in the movies, which is all right, because that's one of the reasons we go to the movies: To see people who are crazier than we are.

Glenna I love this movie. I watched it years ago when it came out and still love it today. Albert Finney is always amazing. Piper Laurie is wonderful. The story is sweet, humorous and loving. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/10/22 Full Review camille l Adapté d'un roman de Josephine Humphreys, Rich in Love suit une famille de Caroline du Sud pendant un été dont la mère s'est enfuie de la maison. Alors qu'on pourrait s'attendre à une énième chronique familiale avec les écueils inhérents au genre, Rich in Love est plutôt calme à ce niveau-là. En effet, le film de Bruce Beresford fait partie de cette étrange caste des films absolument passionnants dans lesquels il ne se passe absolument rien ou presque. On suit plutôt l'été compliqué de Kathryn Erbe et d'Albert Finney, formidables, qui essaient de reconstruire une vie familiale après le départ de Jill Clayburgh. Les seconds rôles (Kyle MacLachlan et Ethan Hawke) sont au diapason, ce qui fait de Rich in Love une très bonne surprise et un film aussi reposant qu'émouvant. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Message is all over the place. Pulls big plot twists and doesn't follow through with them. Don't waste your time on this super clichéd movie Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Shot this movie 20 years ago in Mt Pleasant SC..Great cast (Albert Finney has the most authentic Charleston accent I have ever heard from an actor), director (he did "Driving Miss Daisy")...Cool to see locales that have come and gone (they pull in front of Jimmy's Fireworks on the site where a massive town center is, the old Cooper RIver bridges are in sight and they show a Piggly Wiggly that is now my gym). Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Not a bad little movie, but I don't know about the overall message. Especially with the older sister, sticking with that guy after the two awful things he did (the second she had not found out about by the end of the film). I couldn't help but think there was definitely another installment to this story that didn't have a happy ending! I liked the main character, but she didn't appear to have a lot of substance, only really there for the stronger characters to bounce off, and you don't really get a good sense of what makes her tick. Perhaps she doesn't really fit in there, I thought the ending was good for her. I guess at face value it is a nice little story about finding yourself in a small town, (particularly in the case of the mother), but there were a few things that bothered me about it. Maybe I read too much into it! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member The story is illogical and without the right reactions to situations from the characters. No one is truly likeable enough in this movie. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews
