Review of Fried Green Tomatoes (1991) by Peter Stack for San Francisco Chronicle — 05 Feb 2016
Fried Green Tomatoes is fairly predictable, and the flashback structure is a distraction, but the strength of the performances overcomes the problems of the structure. I especially liked Mary Stuart Masterson's work, but then I nearly always do (see her in Some Kind of Wonderful).
And I enjoyed the vigor with which Jessica Tandy told her long-ago tale, about a woman not completely unlike herself.
