Bridges is an admirable achievement, one that probably does more to reposition its maker as someone who can carry a movie without carrying a gun than as the director/star of a Love Story for the Loving Care set. July 31, 2013 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

The result, if rather thin and certainly far from a masterpiece, is nevertheless quite lovely. This affecting little film is easily one of Eastwood's best efforts as a director. July 31, 2013 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

The strength of Eastwood's Bridges is in its patience, and how it lets the love story develop from start to finish, even though the audience knows from the beginning the broad strokes of what's going to happen. May 5, 2014 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…
