A nice story about the evolution of a friendship. Tandy is good, but she doesn't generate as much sincerity as Freeman. Then again, who does? It's not that I didn't like the film. I thought it was entirely just 'fine'. I felt the whole process was a routine exercise in pleasantly dramatic fluff. Well made, for what it is, but not for my particular interest. I still find it hard to believe that this won Best Picture above all the other great films of 1989.
