Genre: Feature Film-Drama

Media Type: DVD

Filmed in the widescreen splendor of "Panavision Super 70" and blessed with the finest production values that Hollywood clout can buy, this tale of spunky Irish immigrants forgot one crucial ingredient: a decent screenplay. The film is entertaining enough, and director Ron Howard brings his technical proficiency to the simple plot, culminating in a dynamic, breathtaking depiction of the Oklahoma land rush of 1893. But the movie is really just a vacuous vehicle for married stars Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman as (respectively) the poor tenant farmer and rich landlord's daughter who flee Ireland to be American pioneers. The scenery and the stars are never less than stunning, but Howard falls short of the mark in his attempt to match the epic sweep of films by David Lean. On the other hand, this movie is certainly never boring even if it rarely makes sense, and Lean's own Irish epic, Ryan's Daughter, is a snoozer by comparison. --Jeff Shannon

While certainly not a "great" film, "Far and Away" is sweet and very romantic.
The movie is entertaining, but don't expect to be intellectually stimulated. It's a somewhat interesting (although exaggerated and over-simplified) look at the American immigrant experience and a man's (or, in Nicole Kidman's case, a woman's) yearning for land to call one's own.
The scenery is beautiful, there are one or two very funny scenes, and the acting is not too bad.

A movie classic is one that bears watching many times.This is such a movie.It reminds me of "The Quiet Man" in many ways.
At first,I could not fathom Tom Cruise as a fierce Irishman ,nor Nicole Kidman playing the part of Protestant Irish Gentry;but what marvelous performances they make in this epic.
The story begins on the west coast of Ireland in 1892,when Joseph Donnelly ,a poor downtrodden farmer, in his early 20's, has had about all he can take from the brutal domination ... Read More

Far and Away is a real gem. Along with Apollo 13, it is Ron Howard's finest film. The epic story takes us from Ireland to Boston to Oklahoma, and for over two hours the film hasn't a single dull moment. Cruise and Kidman breathe life into their characters, and Howard's direction keeps everything moving in appropriate fashion. That's the key to Howard's excellence as a director: He always puts the story first. The clothing, sets, cinematography: all serve the story.
As with Apollo 13, everything ... Read More

I've seen this movie countless times. Its just one of those films that you never tire of. People have slammed this film for one reason or another, and I know its a matter of opinion, but honestly, Far and Away is a good film. It is not great and not perfect. But it is enjoyable and a good love story, though that really is the back story to the film. Its more than a love story, its about 2 people doing everything they possibly can in a new and strange land. A former rich girl resorts to plucking chickens just ... Read More

This film is incredibly hard to dislike. Even at nearly two and one-half hours it never fails to entertain. The production values are sumptuous particularly the photography and John Williams' lush score. The acting is top shelf. Director Ron Howard in his earlier films had the knack for engaging an audience but afterward you weren't left with much food for thought. This film seemed to me to be informed by the work of David Lean. What Howard lacked, at that time, is Lean's artistry. Later in his career ... Read More
