The Mirror Has Two Faces (1996)

Barbra Streisand directs and stars as a middle-aged academic, Rose, who begins a relationship with a fellow professor (Jeff Bridges). Both are determined that it will stay platonic, based on mutual respect and with no physical complications, but of course it isn’t that simple. 

Like most Streisand films, it’s a rich source of material for anyone wishing to psychoanalyse her. There’s lots about her childhood, her relationships with her parents (Lauren Bacall plays Rose’s stern mother), and her body image. 

It’s flawed but fairly entertaining – especially if you’re already a Babs fan.
