Tom (Nick Nolte), der kantige Football-Trainer aus South-Carolina, muss nach New York. Seine Schwester ist seelisch am Ende. Die Therapeutin bittet Tom um Mithilfe, Licht in die dunkle Familiengeschichte zu bringen. Ein Kindheitserlebnis interessiert Dr. Susan Lowenstein (Barbra Streisand) ganz besonders. Doch jene grauenhafte Gewalttat hat Tom tief verdrngt. Erst langsam ffnet sich der verschlossene Sdstaatler. Dann aber um so gewaltiger... (Columbia TriStar Film)

Barbra Streisand is a well-known enthusiast who is easily excited and so naturally, people tend to talk about her. And not only in the Barbra Streisand song. She’s always been good. The Prince of Tides is a great fit for her. She plays a good character and gets into some good drama, but for the entire two hours, I didn’t really feel like the movie had anything to do with me. The actors were quite good, but as far as the dramatic aspect of the movie goes, it left me as cold as an iceberg.

There might have been moments where the editor could have done some cutting, and at times the film can be a bit long-winded, but these are forgivable mistakes. Otherwise, one of the best films of the year. Sincere, touching, emotionally charged.
