Review of Love Affair

Love Affair (1994)
7/10
Great ending redeems sluggish first half.
14 November 2007
This version of Love Affair (made for the third time) is a film that suffers from a sluggish first half while trying to achieve its goal of having its main characters fall in love. To aide this goal, the characters played by Warren Beatty and Annette Bening take an excursion to a remote Pacific Ocean island to visit the Katharine Hepburn character, a plot point too transparent and contrived to truly be effective. Still, the film manages to redeem itself in the third act with subtle yet powerful drama. The acting is fine, particularly Annette Bening but both she and Warren Beatty shine in the final, heart-wrenching scene.
