Review of The Prince of Tides (1991) by Rita Kempley for Washington Post — 12 Aug 2006
Barbra Streisand's lovely adaptation of Pat Conroy's bestseller echoes the novel's seductive cadences, the cries of summer gulls, the slapping of the Atlantic on the South Carolina shores. An emotionally satisfying film, The Prince of Tides loses some of the stuff readers hold dear, but the pull of the sea, its saltiness too, lingers.
As a story of rebirth through self-exploration, it seems ideally suited to this season of illumination.
