Mireille T @RT34033469 Jun 15, 2026 How wonderfull to feel part of such a great story.No big effects ,no thriller, no fanfare,just 2 incredibles actors playing incredibly well the role of 2 people ,who choose to stay in each other s life .

This is no exception, except that I found myself really moved by the wonderful performance of Burstyn and Alda. I got caught up in the emotions way more than I expected. Cried twice and laughed out loud. It is well worth your time/investment. See more Kathy V. @RT64332554 Apr 30, 2026 We need movies like this again. Wonderful movie and acting. Loved it. See more John T @RT69043723 Apr 25, 2026 I do not know what is wrong with those "professional’ critics who absolutely hate this movie. I don’t understand any of the vitriol. I absolutely loved this film, from the first time I saw it on HBO to just recently on TMC. I loved that it was like watching a play. I loved how it showed how love lasts even when complicated. Both actors give terrific performances. Maybe grow a heart? See more Mark A @RT12514570 Apr 19, 2026 I saw this movie in the theater when it first came out in 1978. I was 21, so Alda and Burstyn were the "older people" to me back then. I thought the storyline was a little odd, but entertaining, and I wondered how two people could be apparently comfortable with their spouses, yet feel the need for an annual affair renewal. I watched the film again last night, and now, at age 69, the whole thing has such a different feel to it. Alda and Burstyn are now younger than me, even at the story's end. My take in 2026 is that life is a lot more challenging than I thought 48 years ago. I was more surprised by the cheating aspect in 1978, but today I realize that nothing is simple in life -- certainly not relationships and why people fall in love when they're not supposed to or expected to. This wasn't a 5-star experience, but it's worthy of 4. My only real complaint is the stereotyped Doris as a 60s hippie 5 years after she became a mother again. Otherwise, it's an enjoyable 2 hours.

Beautiful story about life, love, our personal struggles as we grow older and life presents new realities that challenge our values and our way of thinking. A few elitist critics beat it up. Ignore those fools and go watch it. See more Read all reviews
