Review of The Choice (1971)

By Barbara Vandenburgh (315) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 04 Feb 2016

By Dustin Putman (2,479) for TheFilmFile.com (2,314) on 04 Feb 2016

Review of The Choice (1971)

By Jeannette Catsoulis (1,537) for New York Times (5,786) on 04 Feb 2016

Directed by Ross Katz and filmed like an ad for erectile-dysfunction medication, The Choice is almost repellently synthetic…

Review of The Choice (1971)

By Tom Russo (407) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 04 Feb 2016

In the end, though, the film disappointingly, even lazily, shies away from being anything more than you’d expect…

Review of The Choice (1971)

Review of The Choice (1971)

By Paul Byrnes (441) for Sydney Morning Herald (1,256) on 04 Feb 2016

Review of The Choice (1971)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 04 Feb 2016

There's not a single moment of emotional honesty in this latest helping of meretricious melodrama Nicholas Sparks, but that probably won't…
