A different kind of epic from David Lean. I really loved it.

PEOPLE EXPECTED more from David Lean, I guess, and this movie was not received well. Lean gave up directing for a long time because of it. Yet the movie is quite good. The story is interesting, God knows the photography is outstanding, and…

I first saw this on the big screen in 1970 and fell in love with it. I was a young teen then. I still LOVE it and watch it every so often. I really wish I could have seen it on the big screen again. I think the critics were too harsh. It…

Back when this was in the theatres, this was magnificent. The big screen brought all the drama to life, and the whole movie was there. Fast forward to the small screen, and editing. Sad.

1971. I found this to be rather slow, boring and downright average as a very long movie. It did nothing for me. The disabled British officer LOVER had almost NO dialogue throughout the movie and just brooded, pouted and was depressed…

This is the David Lean movie that the critics love to hate. Ryan is a despicable character, a liar, a braggart, a hypocrite and a traitor. Most of Rosie's grief is entirely due to her father's moral weakness. Robert Bolt's script just…

A true classic (originally filmed in 1970, and digitally remastered version in 2006), this movie fairly swoons with glorious imagery and exquisitely nuanced characters in an age-old tale - along with absolutely terrifying scenes of…

Great David Lean high end Hollywood film production. Has overture before film starts, intermission music, etc. Fabulous Irish sea scapes! Interesting to see Robert Mitchum go a bit Irish and I did enjoy John Mills as Michael, the…

Magnificent piece of film work by Director David Lean. You won't find a movie that shows the beauty of the Irish coast line like "Ryan's Daughter". You won't find a movie that shows how prejudice can tear apart a small village. The cast…

Outstanding film by David Lean about a young woman's desire to find fulfillment in a small Irish village occupied by the British. The townspeople reminded me of those in "Zorba the Greek." At times they were frightening, as when the…

Not a great movie overall, but John Mills will break your heart without ever even saying a word.

A fine little film blown up into a lugubrious, overweening mess. There are many pluses here: acting, cinematography, sets and costumes among them. However, two very large negatives: the silly music score and the bloated scenery make hash…
