eroviravalls Life is a gap between what we expect to happen and what really occurs. Aurora doesn't accept the gap and she closes herself in her "daughter & home" micro-world. Life turns up to be more cruel to her than the average, but she proves to be ready and faces all obstacles that come with outstanding integrity and brave. So, accept the gap but bé ready. Memmorable Shirley MacLaine in a universal classic movie.

John Corda It's often a strange experience to revisit a film that made a big splash decades earlier. I remember enjoying it enormously and enjoyed it enormously again last night but the reasons for the enjoyment have changed. The film as a film has remained solidly planted in 1983, specially the score but what will lead this film into the forever ever are the writing of course and the performances. Shirley MacLaine's truthfulness warts an all is a work of art. She is present one hundred per cent of the time and let's remember, Shirley MacLaine didn't start as an actress, she was a dancer who became a star thanks to a twist of fate and she has remained there as an example of honesty and courage ever since. Her Aurora in Terms Of Endearment is a monumental treat. Debra Winger's performance is a revolution of sorts. Every detail confirms and/or challenges our feelings for her but she's never less that one hundred per cent truthful. It's impossible not to love her even if she doesn't make it easy for you. Jack Nicholson is a terrific interference and every one of his moments have a pleasure of their own. So, a 35 year old movie with a teenager's heart.

JohnnyLee1 Why does everything seem peripheral in this movie? Then, the music is over-bearing and those fade-ins and -outs give it an old-fashioned feel. But ultimately it's a bit boring. Maybe it's because except for Flap the characters are all unattractive. (viewed 11/16)

Sameir Ali The mass are unaware of some of the most beautiful films we have. It is strange that the publicity level of these films are very low.The movie starts with a mother who is curious if the sleeping baby is dead! She wakes the baby up, and feels better when the baby cries; and the mother goes back to the bed. This curious, different first scene itself marks the talent of a great director. The first movie of James L. Brooks, (sadly, he did only 6 features) is unbelievably incredible, beautiful and heart touching. The director won Oscar for his debut film, very rare case. Amazing!The movie is really interesting and funny as the story progress. Later, touching your heart, wet your eyes and leave marks in your heart.All cast did a terrific performance. As there was another very rare Oscar trivia; 2 Nominations for the best Actress in a Leading role, and the mother bags it. Jack Nicholson's role was very safe in his hands, he won Oscar for his role.A really different and rare movie that covers the aspects of human affection and bond.Never miss this wonderful Family Comedy Drama! Highly recommended! #KiduMovie
