Laurents' screenplay has a shocking sense of character truth, and The Way We Were says things that no one else has dared to say in a major Hollywood movie.

This tear-jerkiest of rom-coms about a couple struggling through fundamental differences will hit you right in the feels.

Essentially just a love story, and not sturdy enough to carry the burden of both radical politics and a bittersweet ending.

An engrossing, if occasionally ludicrous, hit tearjerker with Pollack, Streisand, and Redford doing a good job of bringing Arthur Laurents' script to the screen.

Redford and Streisand are the whole show, so scenes with various supporting characters drag. But Pollack’s film still manages to function as a glossy rebuke to the Hollywood standard of the unlikely romance.
