Leave your thoughts about Falling in Love.
| NewsweekJack KrollThe shock of seeing tough guy De Niro as suburban dad Frank, falling in love with suburban mum Meryl Streep after a chance encounter, was insurmountable for some film goers. But time and distance lend this modern Brief Encounter (with added adultery) a certain glow and De Niro and Streep repeat the chemistry they first showed in the Deer Hunter. They were born to act together. |
| The New York TimesJanet MaslinFalling in Love is not a bad movie by any means. It's not stupid or gross or cheap. It's been done with taste, but it's the sort of production that, even when it works, which it frequently does, seems too small and trite to have had so much care taken on it. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA delicately crafted and richly acted drama about a form of romantic love characterized by infatuation. |
| Washington PostRita KempleyThe stars are Robert De Niro and Meryl Streep -- arguably the two most distinguished American movie actors under fifty. They have a genuine chemistry together on the screen and undeniable charisma. And that's it in this movie, which gives them not one memorable line of dialogue, not one inventive situation, not one moment when we don't groan at the startling array of clichés they have to march through. |
| EspinofMikel ZorrillaA simple, and great, love story that avoids unnecessary moral or ethical pamphlets. [Full review in Spanish] |

| User Reviewnirmala rNo one can make adultry look good like they can. Great film. |
| User ReviewMichelle LWhen I first saw this I loved it. Then it troubled me. Now I think it speaks more to human frailty than love. |
| User ReviewKaren CI am a sucker for De Niro and Streep, and I waited ages to see this, but I loved it. Not a conventional love story, and the chemistry! Wonderfully acted by both. |
