"To say that Eastwood, who directed, has done a first-rate job of adaptation fails to do him justice. What he's brought off is closer to alchemy."
"Streep is an actress known for her uncanny ability with accents, but her quiet performance in Bridges proves that she would have made a world-class silent-film star, too."
