Amazon.com essential video
Robert Redford and Barbra Streisand star as sociopolitical opposites--he's a WASP novelist, she's an activist--who nevertheless strike up a romance in the 1930s, and have a rocky relationship through the next two decades that reflects much of America's history. An essential part of the movie--the Hollywood blacklist and the McCarthy witch- hunt years--comes across as a botch, due to some excessive cutting before the film was released. But except for that hole in the heart of the story, director Sydney Pollack (Out of Africa) has crafted a strong and moving drama about two interesting characters. Redford (always good with Pollack) is at the height of his powers, and Streisand is persuasive. --Tom Keogh

 Barbra Streisand: The Way We Were August 17, 2008
Little Lana (USA)
Grammy, Emmy, Academy Award and Tony winner Barbra Streisand was nominated for a Best Actress Academy Award for her role in this 'Perfect' movie. What a performance, what a great movie. The movie has a political edge to it ... such as the 2008 Presidential Primary race, where Hillary Clinton earned more votes than any of her rivals, and earned 311 Electoral votes, to her Party's presumptive nominee's 227 ... 270 needed to win in the November General Election- The Party actually chooses it's nominee on August 28, 2008!!!
"So True To Life" August 8, 2008
Nicole Moore-king (Brooklyn, NY)
"The Way We Were" is still true to life today. Divorce in America has become as common as marriage itself. This movie is an example that people can fall in and out of love without degrading each other. The final scene of the movie says it all. If you are in love, have ever been in love, or if you are falling out of love, "The Way We Were" is a must see.
The Way We Were Review July 12, 2008
J. Wallace
I love, love, love, love, love this movie. It's fantastic! I'll be honest, I got this movie because I remember the infamous gals from Sex and the City talking about it in one of the episodes. I'm glad they 'introduced' me to this movie. It is awesome!

D. Benardes (Endicott,NY)
This is a movie classic. This movie will tug at your heart- if you ever shared a deep love for someone you couldn't have you'll see what I mean when you watch this movie. Just hearing Barbra Striesand sing in this movie is a plus in itself.
If you love Streisand........... December 30, 2007
D. SIEBERT (on a North Texas ranch)
You have to see this; it's a very mature love story with strong political undertones and two people who feel they cannot settle for anything less than their dreams.
Streisand has been an actress that appears to have a love/hate effect on the audience; you either love her or hate her, for whatever reason. She has a strong personality in real life and the director allows her character to show it full force in this film. It's a classic that needs to be seen more often. It is more of a chick flick I think. And I think you have to see it more than once to get the whole emotional undertones; see Streisand interact with others besides Redford to understand her personality. The ending is wonderful; what, no sequel?
