Truly the best of the year to date.

Rating: 9/10 (30 November 2003)

Very absorbing - definitely the best offering I have seen from Clint Eastwood, the emotional power of 'Bridges of Madison County', but with a vast broadness of human experience. Sean Penn was excellent, although I was left feeling that there was more to know about Jimmy - but suspect that in the novel all the characters had more depth.
I regretted not having read the book before seeing this; perhaps I shall do it the other way around.
