Review of The Blue Lagoon (1980) by Janet Maslin for The New York Times — 07 May 1993
Nestor Almendros's cinematography is soothingly gorgeous, and so are Miss Shields and Mr. Atkins. Both are quite adequate to the movie's requirements, and neither has much acting to do--Miss Shields's hardest job, for instance, is to pretend she is giving birth to a baby without ever having wondered why she's put on so much weight.
Her second hardest job is to keep the wind from ruffling her hair.
