75Far and Away, a mildly old-fashioned romantic melodrama that has as many charming moments as embarrassing ones. Much of the charm is supplied by the earnest performances of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. [22 May 1992]
-
75Something kicks in about two thirds in, and Far and Away becomes exhilarating. [22 May 1992]
-
A somewhat simple-minded, overwrought mock epic. [22 May 1992]
-
Far and Away, the new feel-good epic from director Ron Howard, isn't a movie, it's a cartoon.
