Movie Reviews of The Rose

Movie Review: The Rose
Summary: 5 Stars

"The Rose" is a fabulous movie, especially if you remember the 60's and Janis Joplin. Bette Midler did her best acting in this film, portraying an unhappy rock star who just wants to be loved. I've loved this film since it first came out..... I own it on VHS, now I own it on DVD, and if some other media comes out in the future, I'll probably buy it on that, too! It's a classic that I never tire of watching.

Summary of The Rose

Bette Midler plays a Janis Joplin-like singer overwhelmed by stardom and its excesses. Mark Rydell (On Golden Pond) directs what is a kind of hybrid showcase for Midler's concert talents and a standard pop biopic, with the usual rhythms of desire, success, betrayal, failure, and such. Alan Bates is the best thing about the movie as the Rose's ruthless manager, and Harry Dean Stanton and Frederic Forrest add some interesting seasoning. But as a whole, the film can't rise above its mixed purposes or clich?s. --Tom Keogh
In an Oscar-nominated performance, Bette Midler portays a rock star whose success is laced with so much booze, drugs and hard-living, it eventually causes her downfall. Trapped in a self-created hell Rose begs her manager (Alan Bates) for time off from her concert tour. When he refuses, she seeks compfort and love in the arms of a handsome driffter (Frederic Forrest), but even he cannot handle her life of excess. Electrifying musical numbers, including the hit song "The Rose" make the film a pop culture classic.
