It's so boring, unnecessarily long, and the fact that it won Best Picture over such classics as "The Color Purple," as well as "Brazil," "Back to the Future," and "The Breakfast Club" (to name just a few that weren't even nominated) only adds insult to injury.

An overly long but well done epic film starring Meryl Streep and Robert Redford in a typical if tastefully told 'opposites attract' romance. The colonial setting is certainly eye catching with the beautiful African savannas and the period accurate production design. Sydney Pollack's direction is self assured if too leisurely; a half hour could easily been cut from the running time and nothing of importance lost. Part travelogue part memoir and part romance, 'OUT OF AFRICA' is a solid period epic in the vein of a John Huston movie.

Although this film is pretty bloated at times, it does display some incredible chemistry and acting in the onscreen pairing of Streep and Redford. The expansive beauty of Africa is also portrayed wonderfully through impressive shots and directing.

A little winded at times, but at others it displays some great scenery and good acting. Redford is magnificent and Streep does a good job as well. The only problem is the way the story is told. Could be better next time.
