Barbra Streisand and Nick Nolte star in the stunning screen adaptation of Pat Conroy's best-selling novel THE PRINCE OF TIDES. Nolte is Tom Wingo, a disillusioned Southern coach who must reveal his tortured childhood in order to help his suicidal sister. Streisand is Susan Lowenstein, the determined psychiatrist who battles Tom's resentment and rage in search of the truth. Their antagonism gradually gives way to love, as Tom and Susan find the secret that unlocks his sister's torment and the courage to change their own lives. (official distributor synopsis)

Barbra Streisand is a well-known enthusiast who is easily excited and so naturally, people tend to talk about her. And not only in the Barbra Streisand song. She’s always been good. The Prince of Tides is a great fit for her. She plays a good character and gets into some good drama, but for the entire two hours, I didn’t really feel like the movie had anything to do with me. The actors were quite good, but as far as the dramatic aspect of the movie goes, it left me as cold as an iceberg.

There might have been moments where the editor could have done some cutting, and at times the film can be a bit long-winded, but these are forgivable mistakes. Otherwise, one of the best films of the year. Sincere, touching, emotionally charged.
