I'm a huge Barbra Strisand fan and yet I hadn't seen this, probably her most famous film, until now. I found it on xfinity streampix and I loved it. Very melancholy and romantic. The conflict here is believable and a tough obstacle to overcome. Babs and Robert Redford have terrific chemistry, you can see why they are attracted and repulsed by each other at the same time. I loved the score and the costumes. The whole cast is amazing. The Way We Were just played the old romantic in me.

Robert Redford as the world's oldest undergraduate. Babs as that person you never want to get stuck talking to at a dinner party. Soundtrack's decent.

Dommage.

hilarious

Lindo, mas um típico casa em que sua canção transcende sua história. Marvin Hamlish, gênio.

Could be a perfect film, except there's quite a few plot holes and Barbra's bright red nails can be heavily distracting at times. Nonetheless, this is one of those films you love for what it is, and what it is gives you All The Feels and, of course, that theme song! Misty watercolor memories...

Never not breaking my heart.

Boring and insipid.

Classic film, beautiful story telling and awesome performances.

This movie missed me entirely in aiming squarely at its target audience . . . presumably politically-disaffected sentimentalists of the early 1970s. I enjoy, even revel in, experiencing different times and perspectives through films that are decades old. But I couldn’t shake the feeling here that there wasn’t any real substance or feeling that I could latch onto.

Barbara Streisand plays a young American communist university student in the 1930s who falls in love with Robert Redford, a smart, handsome, all-American guy. They couldn’t be more different in their principles, especially politically, and eventually that difference causes them to drift quietly out of each other’s lives in a plot that spans multiple decades. There doesn’t appear to be a great deal of depth here, although the performances are rather winning. I won’t say that it’s a misfire, I’ll just say that I personally wasn’t struck. Perhaps this is one sort of film I’m not very qualified to comment on.
