Fried Green Tomatoes (1991), 3.5 Stars


This is a very good film. I have been meaning to see it for decades. The plot is good but moves a little slowly (at 130 minutes they could have cut 15 from it).

Kathy Bates (Midnight in Paris) is her usual excellent self - I like her in just about everything I've seen. Jessica Tandy (Driving Miss Daisy) and Mary Louise Parker (Red 1 & 2), who is also a 'fave', are also very strong. But the pleasant surprise was Mary Stuart Masterson. I was not familiar with her work (but have heard of Benny & Joon) and she is very very good in this.

We rented this and would see again. I highly recommend it.
