Movie Reviews of Stanley & Iris
Movie Review: Prison life
Summary: 5 Stars
I have watched this movie many times and each time I come away with a renewed sense of hope. We all have something in our lives to overcome and that is what this movie is about, overcoming obstacles, especially those that bring our lives to a halt and keep us in our own prisons. In fact, the most descriptive line comes from Stanley (Deniro) when Iris (Jane Fonda) remarks to him how impressed she is with his construction of a bread cooler, despite his illiteracy. In a paraphrase, his reply is that some men do crossword puzzles, others write books. This hobby is what's kept him busy in his "prison." Each of us has our own prison, whether it be due to health problems or other limitations. What we choose to do within them can determine the quality of our lives. The union of Iris and Stanley builds hope in each of their lives. Watch it and be blessed.Movie Review: A heartwearming, hopeful story
Summary: 5 Stars
Personally, I found this movie to be true to life. Robert DeNiro's performance was outstanding, as was Jane Fonda's. Some of us have been vulnerable like these 2 people and reached out to someone else for help. The message about illiteracy was a good one, as well. Some people do "fall through the cracks" as children due to family circumstances; their education is woefully inadequate. This is a movie I watch when I want a low-key story that is heartwarming, and hopeful. In today's hectic, rushed world, this type of story is a blessing.
Movie Review: DeNiro's finest work
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very sweet, sadly overlooked gem of a movie. Robert DeNiro, in a sharp departure from his typical tough-guy role, plays the shy Stanley, who doesn't know how to read. He meets Iris, played by Jane Fonda (Hanoi Jane is not my favorite, but she is superb here) who teaches him reading as their friendship and love blossom.
It is refreshing to see a film about people instead of explosions and elves and monsters. I wonder why DeNiro didn't get an Oscar nod for this one.
