Review of The Bridges of Madison County (1995) by Arth J — 08 Sep 2018
This was a quite a slow and sombre film but it was incredibly directed by Eastwood. The film has that old stylish storytelling that is lacking in modern filmmaking, it is heart wrenching even though at its core is an over the top plot.
This is one of those times you must go with the plot and not pick it apart, there are holes but at its centre is two master actors at the height of there careers. I thought this was going to be a boring love piece and avoided it for this reason but I must say it is an adult focused film that is incredible.
If you are lacking the adult focused drama that the 80s and 90s was quite excellent at producing, this is one of those films that you need to see. Eastwood as both the star and filmmaker exceeds, but Streep is the anchor of the film.
