Romantic drama starring
Clint Eastwood (who also directed) and
Meryl Streep. She is a housewife living on an isolated Iowa farm in the mid-1960s. He is a
National Geographic photojournalist documenting the area’s distinctive bridges. They spend four days together and fall passionately in love. But she has to juggle this life-transforming experience with the realities of her domestic commitments.
The two leads are both absolutely excellent – top-class acting, especially from Streep. On the downside, the framing story set in the present day is clunky and poorly acted. The son played by Victor Slezak is particularly awkward. But the main love story, which forms the bulk of the film, is touchingly “real”.
