    Robert De Niro and Meryl Streep are such dramatic heavyweights it's difficult to see them as ordinary people involved in a typical affair. Yet this light romance succeeds thanks to their subtle performances, which brilliantly adjust to the artificial pace of a dangerous liaison as architect Frank and graphic artist Molly, separately married Manhattan commuters, make daily contact that becomes mutual obsession. Ulu Grosbard's rather stilted direction is a hindrance, but De Niro and Streep, reunited for the first time after the award-winning success of The Deer Hunter, more than compensate.

    timeless love story without the soppiness

    It was good in 1984 when it was released. It's still as good today, only the fashion has dated! Superb performances from De Niro and Streep. Effortlessly making two ordinary people's lives seem like the centre of the universe. You can feel every ounce of longing, guilt, indecision and pain they go through. Timeless.
