The Way We Were Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
It's easy to forgive the movie a lot because of Streisand. She's fantastic.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Old-fashioned sudser.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
In Pollack's schmaltzy romantic melodrama, real politics is in the background (of course), but the movie is enjoyable as a star vehicle for its handsome stars, Redford and Streisand in their only film together, not to mention Hamlisch's melodic tone.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Syrupy and over-rated.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...a slow-moving yet mostly compelling love story...
Gone With The Twins
Mike Massie
The leads are so good (working with a strong script by Arthur Laurents) that the events surrounding their relationship rarely feel as significant.
Old School Reviews
John A. Nesbit
Sentimental but not overly smaltzy
Gannett News Service
Bernard Drew
While I could not really believe much of what I saw, my eyes never left the screen.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
By, some peculiar alchemy, "The Way We Were" turns into the kind of compromised claptrap that Hubbell is supposed to be making within the film and that we're meant to think is a sellout. It is.
The New Yorker
Pauline Kael
The Way We Were is a fluke -- a torpedoed ship full of gaping holes that comes snugly into port.
The Hollywood Reporter
Alan R. Howard
The movie has the look of a big Hollywood romantic film but because director Pollack looks corruption in the face and exposes it for what it feels like, The Way We Were emerges as one of the least sentimental love stories ever filmed.
AV Club
Jesse Hassenger
For a screen romance with huge movie stars, that sentiment feels pretty real.
Esquire Magazine
John Simon
The entire picture reeks of prophetic hindsight, whereby the cleverer characters so splendidly predict the future, thanks to the author's writing them years after the fact.
Variety
Variety Staff
A distended, talky, redundant and moody melodrama.
Chicago Reader
Don Druker
A for effort; C for execution.
Boston Phoenix
David Rosenbaum
Pollack's direction, sure and precise when shooting his stars alone in a room, collapses to the extent that he loses his narrative line.
Austin Chronicle
The story of Jewish left-wing ugly duckling and the WASP prince with whom she falls in love encapsulates its time and emotions with knowing precision.
TV Guide
An engrossing, if occasionally ludicrous, hit tearjerker with Pollack, Streisand, and Redford doing a good job of bringing Arthur Laurents' script to the screen.
