Entertainment Reviews:
Luedtke and Pollack bought these high-priced literary sources only to chuck them for a conventional, largely fictionalized movie romance.
People Magazine
Streep may convince us utterly that she is in love with Africa, but our views of it are a little too stately to really feel the place.

Los Angeles Times
The beauty that people talk about after they have eaten their popcorn and blown their noses is a postcard beauty, and the ache they feel has nothing to do with the script and very little to do with the performances.

The New York Review of Books
Rating: 4/5 --
Engagingly played, swoonsomely shot, and a bit breathy... perfect stuff for a Sunday night.

Sky Cinema
The relationship of Karen and Denys is a prickly and, despite the era in which it is set, curiously modern one. It's also at the heart of this understated movie.

What the movie loses in emotional realism, it gains in sheer epic audacity.

...[Streep creates] a Karen Blixen of such intelligence, intensity and obsessiveness that you can believe she would one day...write the cool, dark, bewitching prose...

Product Description:
Adapted from Isak Dinesen's novel, OUT OF AFRICA, this film plaintively tells the story of two troubled adults who meet and fall in love in the African wilderness. Karen Blixen-Flecke (Meryl Streep) is a modern woman, caught in the shortcomings of a practical marriage. Finch Hatton (Robert Redford) is a gallant British hunter, lonely, but unable to commit. As they two meet and begin a torrid affair, they set out on an epic adventure in the badlands of Africa--an adventure that real-life Karen Blixen-Flecke would later novelize under the pen name Isak Dinesen.
Sydney Pollack's opus, OUT OF AFRICA, is a full, visually compelling film. Its storyline evokes a plethora of emotions, ranging from fear and loathing to hope and the elation of love. Robert Redford and Meryl Streep are electric as the two damaged infidels in love. A key American film, OUT OF AFRICA is not to be missed.
