The Mirror Has Two Faces
The Mirror Has Two Faces
Barbra Streisand’s self-absorbed remake of a 1958 French film stars Jeff Bridges as a college professor tired of sexual politics. He makes a deal with a dowdy colleague (Streisand) that they provide companionship for one another, with no thought of getting into bed. She agrees but soon becomes frustrated, the agreement only reinforcing her unfulfilled desire to have a complete relationship with a man. Mimi Rogers is on hand as Babs’s striking sister, and Lauren Bacall received an Oscar nomination for her role as the heroine’s selfish mother. The film is OK, but it becomes an irritating vanity piece for Streisand (who directed as well as stars). Her character constantly gazes upon her own reflection and is told at least a dozen times, one way or another, just how attractive she is. One wants to shout out, we get it already–you’re pretty! The DVD release presents the film in both widescreen and pan and scan versions, plus a Dolby soundtrack. –Tom Keogh
Customer Review: Falling in Love
I bought this movie, having watched only two other Barbra Streisand movies - “What’s Up Doc” and “Hello Dolly.” I was between jobs and needed to keep my mind occupied. I was fascinated by the actors and the plot. Actually, I watched the movie several times because I continued to see new details and new themes. Rose (Barbra Streisand) and Gregory (Jeff Martin) had a platonic marriage, yet I saw at least three framed pictures of their wedding in the house. I could see indications that Gregory was developing deep feelings for Rose before he ever proposed. There was some indication that Rose’s mother saw this, too, although she opposed the marriage arrangement. Rose’s feelings were more apparent after the wedding. There were some sad scenes: the wedding ceremony that did not end in a kiss, the wedding night when Rose tucked her husband in, after he fell asleep watching the movie. Rose just stood there watching him for awhile. Rose’s request for sex was quite humorous (nothing subtle about it.) Henry (Greg’s best friend) was a humorous voice of reason for Greg. When Gregory pulled away from Rose on the night they tried sex, and he declared, “I took every precaution to make sure there was no physical attraction,” that was one of the saddest scenes in the film. However, there was a very happy ending.
Customer Review: Good chick flick
One of my favorite Barbra movies! I love to see romance alive in New York City. And it’s not bad looking at Jeff Bridges. The movie may not be totally beliveable - - BUT who cares?!
