Movie Reviews of The Bridges of Madison County (Full Screen Edition)
Movie Review: Bridges of Madison County
Summary: 2 Stars
Two amazing actors but not particularly believable together in a romance. A slow plot that doesn't gather much momentum. I couldn't imagine their relationship working anyway (seemed much more like an unrealistic fling on both parts) and so couldn't really get into the romance, which is the basis of the film. And this is coming from a totally sentimental, cry out a box of Kleenex gal. And what was to stop her from adding a little spice to her own marriage? Her husband wasn't an entirely unlikeable guy. When he asked her why she was crying in the end, that was a chance to offer up something to him. Overall unrealistic, which dampened any attempt to get into the movie and characters. And the "Italian" accent seemed more Eastern European.
Summary of The Bridges of Madison County (Full Screen Edition)
Robert kinkaid is a romantic drifter on his way to photograph a historic covered bridge in madison county iowa for national geographic. When he stops at a farmhouse to ask directions he meets francesca johnson whose passionate nature has long been denied. Their friendship turns into a tender four-day affair. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 04/26/2005 Starring: Clint Eastwood Meryl Streep Run time: 135 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Clint EastwoodSome called it a snooze-fest, while others tearfully clutched their Kleenex. In any case, Clint Eastwood was an unusual and (as it turned out) perceptive choice to direct and costar in this lush adaptation of Robert James Waller's phenomenally bestselling novel. Meryl Streep costars as Francesca, the lonely Iowa farmer's wife who is instantly attracted to Robert (Eastwood), the photographer from National Geographic who is in the area to photograph the bridges along Iowa's rural roadways. The two fall in love while Francesca's husband and children are away at a county fair, but the story's passion and lasting appeal derive from their decision to part forever after just a few brief days of intimate connection. Superbly acted with an emphasis on quiet, graceful moments of tender revelation, the film builds to a crescendo of powerful and conflicting emotions. Like David Lean's Brief Encounter (to which it bears marked similarities), The Bridges of Madison County is destined to become one of the classic movie love stories. --Jeff Shannon
