Movie Reviews of Far and Away

Movie Review: Sweet, Romantic Film
Summary: 5 Stars

While certainly not a "great" film, "Far and Away" is sweet and very romantic.
The movie is entertaining, but don't expect to be intellectually stimulated. It's a somewhat interesting (although exaggerated and over-simplified) look at the American immigrant experience and a man's (or, in Nicole Kidman's case, a woman's) yearning for land to call one's own.
The scenery is beautiful, there are one or two very funny scenes, and the acting is not too bad.
The budding romance between the characters played by Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman is well done. If you're looking for a romantic, memorable chick-flick, "Far and Away" is a good choice.

Summary of Far and Away

Filmed in the widescreen splendor of "Panavision Super 70" and blessed with the finest production values that Hollywood clout can buy, this tale of spunky Irish immigrants forgot one crucial ingredient: a decent screenplay. The film is entertaining enough, and director Ron Howard brings his technical proficiency to the simple plot, culminating in a dynamic, breathtaking depiction of the Oklahoma land rush of 1893. But the movie is really just a vacuous vehicle for married stars Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman as (respectively) the poor tenant farmer and rich landlord's daughter who flee Ireland to be American pioneers. The scenery and the stars are never less than stunning, but Howard falls short of the mark in his attempt to match the epic sweep of films by David Lean. On the other hand, this movie is certainly never boring even if it rarely makes sense, and Lean's own Irish epic, Ryan's Daughter, is a snoozer by comparison. --Jeff Shannon

A poor young Irish man immigrates to the United States along with the daughter of a wealthy land owner.
