I was surprised that this film got as much recognition from the Oscars as it did. Peter Weir's directing is certainly praiseworthy and the cinematography is outstanding, but overall, the film falls a little flat. The romance between Ford and McGillis was forced and the end was predictable.
Ford puts up a decent performance, but unfortunately I find that this one is much like many of the other movies that Ford has been in since.
Overall, 6.5 out of 10.
