Review of Far and Away (1992) by Scott A — 23 Aug 2013
Not sure how I never saw this bigger release from Nicole Kidman, a personal goddess, but it was not worth the wait.
It was far too long and far too boring. The only real meat to the story is the final 15 minutes or so, and even then they find a way to make it end on a totally cheesy note.
Kidman is decent here, both her and Cruise have some really bad accents going on and they have zero chemistry on film...probably why the marriage never worked out.
Nice to see Michelle Johnson in a small role, as she seems to have disappeared off the face of the Earth in recent years. Some of the other supporting cast shine, like Meany.
The score also bothered me at times, as it seemed far too playful and not serious enough.
Glad I finally watched it, but would never again.
