Barbra is so Barbra and that's why the movie is there., 20 January 2003
10/10
Author: budmassey (cyberbarrister@gmail.com) from Indianapolis, IN

The critics savaged this one, so it must be good. Personally, I love it. Barbra is so Barbra and that's why the movie is there in the first place. Kvetching between her overbearing fiancé and a psychiatrist who is in love with the girl she used to be, literally, she sings to flowers and makes them grow and finds lost things and, oh yes, the phone is about to ring.

A young Jack Nicholson is her free spirited step-brother, and though he would not emerge as a star for several more years, he's every inch the Nicholson you know and love. There are great turns by Bob Newhart and Yves Montand, both a little stiff as you would expect, but in the end, Clear Day is exhilarating and uplifting. The DVD edition is manna from heaven, since widescreen is the only way to view good cinema, and the soundtrack is flawless in digital.
