Leave your thoughts about On Golden Pond.
| eFilmCritic.comScott WeinbergWonderful to get one last sweet visit with Mr. Fonda and Ms. Hepburn. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertOn Golden Pond is a treasure for many reasons, but the best one, I think, is that I could believe it. I could believe in its major characters and their relationships, and in the things they felt for one another, and there were moments when the movie was witness to human growth and change. I left the theater feeling good and warm, and with a certain resolve to try to mend my own relationships and learn to start listening better. |
| San Francisco ChronicleJohn StanleyNone of these issues are fully resolved, but just enough ... and that’s what makes On Golden Pond cinema gold. |
| VarietyVariety StaffWithout question, these are major, meaty roles for Katharine Hepburn and Henry Fonda, and there could have been little doubt that the two would work superbly together. |
| EmpireIan NathanOkay, so it does cloy in places, but there is truth in its fractures and its seals, a soft-shimmering landscape of real people. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Jay ScottTwo of Hollywood's best-loved veterans deserved a far better swan song than this sticky confection. |
| Associated PressBob ThomasOn Golden Pond is a rare and beautiful movie, radiating with humanity. Ernest Thompson has adroitly adapted his successful play to the screen, adding pictorial scope without sacrificing the human interplay. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatOn Golden Pond is a thematically rich drama exploring marriage, aging, family conflict, death and dying. |
| TheBluFile.comDustin PutmanThe truth of its characters and emotions carry the film from start to finish. |
| TIME MagazineRichard SchickelEmotionally On Golden Pond is no less valid for being something of a cliche. Anyway, the characters are so strong that the piece does not play as a cliché. Hepburn, for example may have a less chewy part than has Fonda, but the briskness of her manner, her well-justified image as a no-nonsense individualist who is nevertheless a good sport, serve her wonderfully. There is a vivifying touch of tension between an actress who was a liberated woman before the movement was born and her role as traditional wife and mother. |
