About this movie

World-traveling National Geographic photographer Robert Kincaid and Iowa housewife Francesca Johnson aren't looking to turn their lives upside down. Each is at a point in life where expectations are behind them. Yet four days after meeting, they wont want to lose the love they've found.

Academy Award winners' Meryl Streep (earning her 10th Oscar nomination for this performance) and Clint Eastwood (who also produces and directs) bring blazing starpower and powerful conviction to the beloved characters of Robert James Waller's best seller of love, choice and consequence. With luck, a love like that happens to some of us sooner or later. For Robert and Francesca, it was later. And it was glorious.

Ratings and reviews

Movie keep cutting off while playing, only 10 minutes into movie. I love this movie was Really Disappointed, gave it 30 minute then it said error sorry, and blacked out.

This is hands down one of my all time favorite movies! Forbidden love bound by loyalty to family! A real tear jerker that anyone who has ever been in love but had to let it go can relate too. Clint Eastwood did an excellent job acting as well as directing this film and Meryl Streep deserved an oscar! Bravo!

This 🎥 is the 💣 shell, geesh I wished there were a part 2 of this 🎥. I haven't seen another 🎥 topped this except for the Landlord with Bo Bridges. But this 🎥 is very romantic and spontaneous.
