Stanley and Iris

USA 1990, 100 minutes
Dir. Martin Ritt
English
Rating: [PG]
Genres: Drama / Romance

Feat. Jane Fonda, Robert De Niro, Swoosie Kurtz, Martha Plimpton

Aroview: Adapted from the novel 'Union Street' by Pat Barker, and transposed to the USA, this concerns a grieving widow (Fonda) who teaches a blue-collar worker (De Niro) to read. Sincere tone and quality production more than make up for the odd mawkish contrivance.

I find this review offensive! I don’t agree with this review. I agree with this review.
2 stars (Good Try) The best scenes are those located in the company workplace in the first half of the screenplay. What follows is okay, but a bit soppy. ~Tubbs
