Out of Africa

I read an article where Edward Norton said this is one of the few films that holds up today and stands the test of time. Unfortunately I had to disagree. I did enjoy MOMENTS of this film but overall found that the dialogue and romance between Meryl Streep’s character and Robert Redford’s character grew dreary in the film’s first third. I appreciated the fact that Streep’s role seemed to have required a lot of work for her to master her accent, but overall the film was not very memorable or original in my opinion.

This is a really nice film and, of course, Meryl Streep is amazing in it. The story does kind of stretch out but I think it was worth it in the end if you are patient. The emotions are real and the story is heartfelt. And the setting, for sure, is absolutely gorgeous.

Out of Africa is such a stunning and beautifully done movie that will leave anyone who watches it feeling moved. This movie is an absolute treasure with a half dozen or more perfect and unforgettable scenes. This movie will not waste your time.
