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

Synopsis

Tom Wingo, a disillusioned football coach, leaves his wife and sets off for New York in an effort to uncover his tortured childhood, to help his psychologically- troubled sister. His sister's psychiatrist, Susan Lowenstein, gains the courage to resolve her own marital strife.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most romantic drama you will ever see!!!!, 11 May 2001
By A Customer
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Our" Movie - Well, One of Them At Any Rate., 14 May 2007
By The Kinniburgh Kid (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: The Prince Of Tides [DVD] [1991] (DVD)
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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Problematic film that shirks important issues, 20 Jan 2008
By Aisling (Dublin, Ireland.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Prince Of Tides [DVD] [1991] (DVD)
This movie sags disappointingly in its second half, tipping over into sentimentality and rehearsing most of the cliches of the 'redemption through love' genre.

Streisland's central role in the production has, perhaps, impacted negatively on the movie. The camerawork, dialogue, score and plotting insist that we view her character as almost angelic. Her character's actions suggest she is not quite so easy to categorise.

The idea that an extra-marital affair can actually be good for a marriage is a little too much to be asked to swallow. There is rather too much in this plot that is problematic and rather too little willingness to face these issues head-on.
