4/5

Perhaps the only time in history a movie was far better than its source material

Whether Meryl Streep deserved an Oscar nomination may be debatable, but what's beyond dispute is that scripter Richard LaGravenese and director Clint Eastwood have actually made a better, more enjoyable film than the schmaltzy literary source.

...an old-fashioned love story for adults.

In Eastwood's hands, it seems, even divorce can be more romantic than orgasms under the right circumstances.

This didn't pain me anywhere near as much as I thought it would. A money-grab, surely, and Clint's weird bush story is very awkward, but generally charming enough for a date with a boring person.

Eastwood can do no wrong in my eyes ... but he came dangerously close with this one.

Outstanding drama. Actually makes a case for adultery. You really feel for them and get sucked into this quiet world.

Considering the turgid potboiler it's based on, we should be grateful Eastwood achieved as much as he did.
