Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Dalbert Pringle Meet ritzy-schmitzy, Park Avenue psychiatrist, Dr. Susan Loenstein, played by none other than "bum-note" Barbra Streisand, herself.One day when the emotionally disturbed Tom Wingo shows up at her swank office seeking help, what does this supposedly professional, highly ethical and married woman do as a means of therapy for Tom? Well, this low-down, sleazy, two-timing bitch initiates sex with him! That's right.And if that wasn't distasteful enough - Literally half of this film's running time is then given over to an utterly shitty "love affair" that immediately transpires between these two major arse-holes, Tom & Sue.We watch Tom & Sue eating cotton-candy. We watch Tom & Sue laughing so joyfully. We watch Tom & Sue skipping together along the beach. (Tra-la-la-la!) We watch so much of frickin' Tom & Sue that it makes me want to puke my guts out.You know, it really figures that it was "America's Treasure", Barbra Streisand, who's the one to be held responsible for directing this detestable crap.This movie is pure garbage! I don't believe for a minute that its story is supposed to be a statement, protesting against the sexual abuse of children.

tieman64 Directed by Barbra Streisand, "The Prince of Tides" stars Nick Nolte as Tom Wingo, a man whose dysfunctional childhood has left him with severe psychological scars. When his sister attempts suicide, Tom comes into contact with Susan Lowenstein (Streisand), a psychologist with domestic problems of her own. The film was adapted from a novel by Pat Conroy."The Prince of Tides" is channelling the Southern Gothic fiction of Tennessee Wiliams and William Faulkner. In this regard, Streisand's film is proudly melodramatic, overcooked and larger-than-life. There's no subtlety here, just one ridiculously bombastic moment after the other. Whilst this is the film's largest flaw, it's also its biggest asset; southern melodrama has always tended towards the voluptuous. With fine performances by a scenery chewing Nolte and an austere Blythe Danner.7/10 – Worth one viewing. See "The Beguiled".

thisisalbundy This is one of the best movies ever made. Nick Nolte and Barbra Streisand give legendary performances that should not be missed. The acting was so good it looked like a documentary movie that was happening in real life. This is an amazing emotional roller coaster that all movie goers need to see.All families have ghosts or skeletons in their closets that they must face at some point in their lives. In fact many families are dysfunctional. This movie portrays them perfectly in a realistic story and screenplay that is unforgettable. The emotional impact is immortal. You will find yourself watching it again and again shedding some tears every time.Take my word for it and see this movie now. You won't be disappointed.

brefane This talky, convoluted piece of pop psycho babble may be barely mediocre but it's still director Sreisand's best film. The Prince of Tides has enough plot for 3 Lifetime channel movies and it's burdened with unnecessary characterizations by Jason Gould, Blythe Danner and Jerome Kerobbe to say nothing of a pointless, highly unlikely and questionable romance between Nolte's troubled Tom Wingo and his suicidal sister's shrink Dr. Lowenstein played unconvincingly by Streisand whose direction is rhythm-less, pedestrian and overwrought and in no way suggests Streisand was robbed of a Best Director nomination by a sexist Academy but rather was damned lucky that The Prince of Tides was a Best Picture nominee! As the troubled sister Melinda Dillon phones in a performance seemingly from a different film while Kate Nelligan does the best she can with a tricky part. Nolte's performance is surprisingly sensitive and believable and is the film's sole redeeming feature. By film's end all the various characters and their problems have been neatly, quickly, happily and simplistically resolved. It should have been called The Prince of Tidy.
