Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Barbra Streisand's best film as a director is helped enormously by one of Nick Nolte's finest performances. Nolte plays a football coach who is estranged from his wife (Blythe Danner) and who enters into an affair with the psychiatrist (Streisand) of his suicidal sister (Melinda Dillon). Streisand is acceptable in her star turn, but behind the camera she paces the story very well and provides lots of room for Nolte to inhabit his burdened but likable character. George Carlin is a bit token as a gay New Yorker, although Jason Gould (Streisand's son) is good as a struggling teen in desperate need of a father figure. The Prince of Tides is worth watching just to see a great moment near the end where Nolte stands on a street, a bit slump-shouldered and wearing a look of sad resolve. It's great acting at its most minimal. --Tom Keogh
From the Back Cover
Product of a horrific family history that has left him scarred and his sister suicidal, South Carolina football coach Tom Wingo heads for New York and the healing hand of top psychiatrist Susan Lowenstein. In a desperate quest to save her sister's sanity and his own soul, Tom and Susan begin a disturbing journey through long-denied memories, a journey on which both sufferer and saviour make startling discoveries about themselves...and each other. Hailed as a movie masterpiece, director Barbra Streisand's The Prince Of Tides is an emotionally explosive story of profound pain, unlikely passion and lost childhood.

This is a remarkable story of a couple who meet through one mans heartache and its one of the most touching and dramatic movies I have ever seen, Barbra streisand(my idol) gives one of the best performances of her career, nick notle is just fantastic, this should have won all its oscars and more, it just fantastic.

My wife and I went to see this without really knowing what it was about before hand. We weren't together at that time - and thought we never would be - so it has a special resonance for us now.
Like Beaches, Horse Whisperer, Bridges of Madison County and other such hit novels turned into movies, it delivers a story of emotional turmoil with enough class to raise it above a mere afternoon movie distraction.

Poignant
Another excellent performance by Barbra Streisand, ably supported by Nick Nolte with an ending to the movie that you may not expect.

I had this on video and wore it out, it's a typical love story with a typical ending, but the music and the story keep you watching all the way through. I watch it regularly.

Problematic film that shirks important issues
This movie sags disappointingly in its second half, tipping over into sentimentality and rehearsing most of the cliches of the 'redemption through love' genre. Read more
