Movie Reviews of Far and Away
Movie Review: American Immigrants of the 19th Century
Summary: 5 Stars
The story of immigrants of the 19th century is an exhilerating story of an Irish couple driven to have a better way of life in the young and upcoming industrial society of America. Every part of this movie keeps your attention - particularly if your ancestery is Irish, as mine is. Casting selection of actors is perfect! Very high spirited personalities for the characters.
Summary of Far and Away
A poor young Irish man immigrates to the United States along with the daughter of a wealthy land owner.Genre: Feature Film-Drama
Rating: PG13
Release Date: 27-FEB-2007
Media Type: DVD
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
