Review of A Modern Affair (1996) by Jim L — 31 Jan 2010

I just watched ?A Modern Affair? on Hulu, where they have the entire film online. I was absolutely blown away by Lisa Eichhorn?s performance. She?s realistic, relatable, and smart. As a successful career woman, Grace hasn?t got time for men, nor does she feel like she can ever connect with one.

Her best friend is constantly encouraging her to strike up a relationship, but Grace finds it too difficult. However, lacking any real meaning in her personal life, she does decide that she is determined to start a family.

Her journey looking for love and happiness isn?t a fairytale like you?d find in some movies, but it?s like real life, which is probably why I like this movie so much. It?s not an escapist film, it?s something real women (and men) can identify with.
