August 29, 2007Tom (Nick Nolte) moves from Atlanta to New York to help his twin sister (Savannah). Savannah's psychiatrist, Lowenstein (Barbra Streisand.) asks Tom to be his sister's memory. There is good reason that Tom and Savannah cannot remember their childhood.

August 1, 2007A powerful character story. It's fun seeing Barbara Streisand as a psychiatrist in a serious romantic drama. Nick Nolte plays a traumatized adult whom she helps. A well made film.

April 6, 2006I only saw this for the first time recently. I guess I held off because of Barbra Streisand. She's very good, as is Nolte. And Blythe Danner! Another movie you won't want to see if you're already feeling down. However, redemption is right around the corner.

September 7, 2008Arrggghh...Hollywood turned this masterpiece of Pat Conroy's into a love story. It is so much more than that,but as far as literature adaptations go, it's not too bad. Conroy also had The Great Santini and The Lords of Discipline adapted to film-these were done quite well.
Anyway...this FILM is intense,compelling and poignant. It is a story told well on the screen with a stellar performance by Nick Nolte.He takes a very complicated and conflicted character and does Conroy's book justice. It is a story of familial secrets,repression and shame,as well as redemption healing and the journey toward accepting one's own truth.
I highly recommend the film and watched it again tonight for the 3rd or 4th time. I also highly recommend the book by one of my favorite authors.
Striesand directed the film and of course placed far more emphasis on her character and the "love" story than was ever intended by the author.Try and ignore her and see Nick Nolte at his finest. -
