    Stanley & Iris is a harmless little romance that's elevated slightly by the charisma of its two stars, Jane Fonda and Robert De Niro. The two have a genuine chemistry with one another, and it's hard not to root for their characters to finally get together by the film's end.

    I will NOT see a Movie that has this Commie, Traitor, BITCH in it.
    They don't have a LOW enough rating for her.
    She can rot in the Hanoi Hilton, for what she did to Our troops during Vietnam.

    BURN BITCH, BURN

    Bien correct, sans plus. Le fait est que les grandes lignes (ou plutôt la base) de l'histoire nous touche à un point tel que l'on est moyennement surpris par le film lui-même. Un sentiment dur à expliquer, mais à mes yeux, l'annalphabétisme(?) me touche profondément, et encore pl...( read more)us si c'est Robert De Niro qui en souffre. De bien bonnes scènes, avec un happy ending américano-prévisible , mais sympa tout de même.
