LouHomey From my favorite movies..

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

fishy246 This is truly a good field they film that you were fall in love and you will not be disappointed I love that the characters I love everything about this movie I also love the relationship between the two women that shows what friendship is about and I love that the story has a really sweet story.

benm-41751 Fried Green Tomatoes has no shame in being sappy and sentimental. But if you don't get hung up on that, it's really a sweet movie about reminiscing on the good and bad of life, where underneath everything the real story is about the people you love. Of course it helps that the movie is well-made and well-acted.

bbewnylorac Sure it's a tiny bit corny, but Fried Green Tomatoes is a gem of a movie. It's amazing, in the era of beautiful people and fast paced stories, that it got made at all, but I guess it helped that its stars Kathy Bates and Jessica Tandy had both recently won Oscars for other movies. This film doesn't insult its audience. I like how it tells the tale in a roundabout way through the miserable, modern day housewife (Bates) befriending a sparky elderly woman (Tandy) she meets while visiting another resident at a nursing home. It turns out the elderly lady played merely a bit part and was a young girl, an observer, in the real life juicy tale she starts to tell about rural southern life in the old days, but it tells us a lot about the close ties of a large family and friends in a more innocent time. And she's a great story teller, and Bates's character is taken out of her depression and gains a good friend who suggests ways she can get out more and get over her problems. A simple tale, but a lovely one, with lots of wicked humour and a touch of the macabre.

jeffriebond I just watched this film for the 3rd or 4th time and each time it touches me to the very depth of my heart. It is a perfectly made film, flawlessly acted, brilliantly written and directed. More of the actors, and the director, should have received Oscar nominations. This is a film about life and all of its elements: family, tragedy, loss, racism, physical abuse, emotional abuse, abuse of power, marriage, spirituality, but most of all the spirit of love and deep, abiding friendship that both conflicts and resonates deeply through all of the conjoined characters, their lives, and their purpose. Few films will touch you as deeply as Fried Green Tomatoes, its profound message one you will carry with you every day of your life, with everyone you know. This is one of the best films ever made.
