Out of Africa - Casting Questionable But Still a Stunning Picture

Date of Review:  Mar 8, 2006
The Bottom Line: Out of Africa is a beautiful picture that still is a great film to view despite one of the leads being miscast.
Review: Let me state upfront that I love Robert Redford. I adore him and find him to be wonderful in just about every film I ve seen him in. However, as a charismatic ladies man at the turn of the 20th century in Africa, he just didn t convince me.

Blah, Despite The Scenery, "Out Of Africa" Is Hardly An Engaging Film.

Date of Review:  Sep 16, 2009
The Bottom Line: Filmed beautifully and not lacking in the occasional charms, "Out Of Africa" is a film that relies too much on style over substance to entertain.
Review: To be fair at the outset to "Out Of Africa," the film's status as a winner of Best Picture has long been in dispute by me (from well before I saw it) for no other reason than my favorite film of all time was released the same year and was not even...

Flawed Love Story, Panoramic Views, Too Long and Slow

Date of Review:  Sep 19, 2009
The Bottom Line: Klaus Maria Brandauer, Robert Redford and Meryl Streep carry this heavy burden fairly well, but the story has serious flaws
Review: Sydney Pollack's Out of Africa suffers from the same illness as David Lean's Dr. Zhivago: it drags on for several hours, with the story frequently set aside in favor of asides.

Not surprisingly, the film won Oscars for Best Picture,...

When Thinking and Feeling Fall in Love

Date of Review:  Mar 25, 2007
The Bottom Line: If you like a good story or romance, then you will appreciate this film.
Review: I saw this movie for the first time when I was only 19 years old, over 15 years ago. I had the video in my collection and watched it every now and then just to refresh my memory about why I fell in love with it from the first viewing. No matter how...

Out of Africa (1985)

Date of Review:  Mar 30, 2000
Review: The biography of Danish author Isak Dinesen (1885-1962) was the subject of Hollywood interest for many decades. Greta Garbo was among the actresses who had expressed an interest in playing her.

But it was veteran producer/director Sydney...

One of my favorite films

Date of Review:  Aug 25, 2006
The Bottom Line: It is a story of unpredictable love between a man and woman, as well as a love for a beautiful country. The photography was outstanding.
Review: Meryl Streep, gives a moving portrait of Karen Blixen, an "older" woman from Denmark. The film, directed by Sydney Pollack, stars one of Pollack's best friends, Robert Redford, who plays Brit, Denys Finch-Hatton. They tell the story of an unmarried...

A Treasure

Date of Review:  May 18, 2000
Review: There is good reason that this won the Best Picture Academy Award. It is a classic, sweeping tale of adventure and romance, beautifully done by masters of their craft. I just hate that there is a current attempt to capitalize on this film's ideas,...

Avoid This Film Like Ebola!

Date of Review:  Mar 5, 2000

Out of Africa - A Women's Journey in Africa

Date of Review:  Mar 17, 2007
Review: I like the movie "Out of Africa" not only because it tells the story of Karen Blixen, but for the visuals of Africa, the animals and the native people showcased in this movie. You not only get a story, but also a little education on what it was like...

Best Africa movie out there

Date of Review:  Dec 10, 2005
Review: I still cry when I hear the opening line to the movie...I'd been to Ghana when I first saw this film and the scenery and language and longing for the continent that so many experience really shines through. Streep and Redford were ideal for the...
