What to Know

Critics Reviews

Noel Murray The Dissolve The strength of Eastwood's Bridges is in its patience, and how it lets the love story develop from start to finish, even though the audience knows from the beginning the broad strokes of what's going to happen. Rated: 4/5 May 5, 2014 Full Review Jeff Shannon Seattle Times With Eastwood as Kincaid and Meryl Streep as Francesca, this carefully observant love story turns Waller's pop-lit passion into screen art. Rated: 3.5/4 Jul 31, 2013 Full Review Carrie Rickey Philadelphia Inquirer Bridges is an admirable achievement, one that probably does more to reposition its maker as someone who can carry a movie without carrying a gun than as the director/star of a Love Story for the Loving Care set. Rated: 3/4 Jul 31, 2013 Full Review Laura Ferrero El Pais (Spain) ... Beyond telling us the non-story of a couple, The Bridges of Madison County tells us our story, of all those times we failed to turn the wheel. [Full review in Spanish] Aug 2, 2023 Full Review Sheila Reid Women in the Life This film starts as a yawnfest, but if you can tough it out through the first 15 minutes it turns into quite a little gem of a movie. May 13, 2022 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Their story might be small, unglamorous, and generally unexciting, but there's no denying its pleasantness and significance. Rated: 6/10 Sep 11, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Reviews

Aender S As so often in Clint Eastwood films, there are great shots of landscape, an element that pleases the hiker in me. But although I like being nice and living romance, this film is too cheesy for my taste. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/11/24 Full Review Eye C A slow burn story with so much sexual tension and a lot "What ifs". Don't know why but I don't buy Mr. Eastwood as a romantic. Although is a nice picture, I like it. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/24 Full Review Carlotta F Clint at his unconventional best. A treat! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/24 Full Review danwhiffinmusic Beautiful film, could easily be corny but the performances from the two lead actors carry it far above that, especially Meryl Streep who is superb. I watched this at the BFI in Londons Southbank and when the film finished, everyone sat there in silence and watched the credits until the end! My only criticism is that the scenes with the two siblings in the present day are not brilliant at times and perhaps took me out of the movie a little bit too much, although they also came good in the end. The story is told from start to finish and has a slow pace that draws you in slowly, until you're fully emotionally invested by the end. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/24 Full Review Mary S Totally loved the book and the movie , I understood how Mrs Johnson felt, life given to others, but not feeling very satisfy .I loved this movie so much I travelled from Sydney, Australia to see the covered bridges in Madison county.Clint Eastwood, is so talented he ticks all the boxes ,as does Ms Streep.I thank them for a limitless classic Mary Studdert. Sydney Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/24 Full Review dave O I enjoyed this. Nice slow burner. Emotional and well made.
