The Way We Were... is not really a valid title, for so few of us were this way.

The Way We Were is a fluke -- a torpedoed ship full of gaping holes that comes snugly into port.

For a screen romance with huge movie stars, that sentiment feels pretty real.

Streisand is capable in an implausible role as a liberated Jewess, and Redford is...well, Redford.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 14, 2018

By, some peculiar alchemy, "The Way We Were" turns into the kind of compromised claptrap that Hubbell is supposed to be making within the film and that we're meant to think is a sellout. It is.

| Nov 14, 2018

The movie has the look of a big Hollywood romantic film but because director Pollack looks corruption in the face and exposes it for what it feels like, The Way We Were emerges as one of the least sentimental love stories ever filmed.

| Oct 17, 2018

A distended, talky, redundant and moody melodrama.

| May 26, 2008

A for effort; C for execution.

With the script glossing whole areas of confrontation (from the communist '30s to the McCarthy witch-hunts), it often passes into the haze of a nostalgic fashion parade.

It's easy to forgive the movie a lot because of Streisand. She's fantastic.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 23, 2004

The story of Jewish left-wing ugly duckling and the WASP prince with whom she falls in love encapsulates its time and emotions with knowing precision.

| Oct 1, 2003

Syrupy and over-rated.
