Movie Reviews of The Rose
Movie Review: A gut wrenching and riveting performance
Summary: 5 Stars
A gut wrenching vocal portrayal of a life engulfed in insecurities, self-doubt and low self-esteem, Bette Midler shines in the semi autobiographical movie and soundtrack that leaves you knowing what Janis Joplin's torments were about. Bette's strong and powerful portrayal of Janis Joplin and her strong vocals tug at the heartstrings, bring laughter to the tip of your tongue and sorrowful moments in your heart. Hauntingly familiar yet vaguely distant, her gutsy renditions of the songs and powerful performance leave a lasting impression in your mind. This is a must-have for your collection.Movie Review: BETTE MIDLER'S FILM DEBUT!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is Bette Midler's film debut-unless you are counting the movie she had been an extra in.
This is one of my favorite movies, and it also was Bette Midler's first Academy Award nomination! Well deserved!
This movie centers on a successful singer, but her life is far from happy. There is so much story to this movie, and I couldn't recommend it enough to people who have never seen it.
The music is wonderful, and Bette Midler truly gives the music and the movie her all!
Movie Review: Doing Justice to Janis Joplin
Summary: 5 Stars
Janis Joplin's life story is a testament to her famous words "take another piece of my heart out baby" ... and Bette Midler's portrayal of a very fragile Texas rose is utterly heartbreaking now just as it was in 1979. The remedy of a life of such pain ... the fame and fortune ... alleviated Janis' suffering .... but did not completley eradicate it. Midler's performance is incredible and the Oscar-nomination was very well deserved!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.Movie Review: The Rose is the best !!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Rose is a heart warm Janis Joplin type story. Some say it is Joplins life, No, only parts are, BUT worth watching and is
great for any Joplin fan. Bette did a wonderful job on vocals and sounds just like her and not a bad actress either in this role.. I encourage all Joplin fans to buy this one.
