Starting Over (1979)
7/10
An unusual dicey role for Burt Reynolds, just for mature brains!!
12 January 2024
The unconceivable happened, Burt Reynolds had a never to play an opposite character as he used to play previously, even putting in risky his well-paved and solid career as badass actor, somehow Pakula persuaded him to accept a typical-unsure husband kicked by his gorgeous and unfaithful wife Candice Bergen, aftermaths moving to Boston to live side by side with his old brother Charles Durning a psychiatrist that allows to him all support post break-marriage in a meeting of grieving self-help group of former husbands.

Meanwhile his brother pushes him a unmarried and uncanny Jill Clayburgh to starting over as the title implied, among ups and downs the faltering new couple will living together new experiences including an unexpected visit of his Reynold's former wife, stressing the still stormy relationship, making perhaps irretrievable deep damages, it was critically acclaimed and Candice Bergen and Jill Clayburgh have been nominated on academy awards, a picture for mature brains only, passing by more than 40 years it's still fresh and contemporary.

Thanks for reading.
