This is a truly great picture. The picturesque Montana landscapes make a wonderful backdrop for this magnificent family drama. Brad Pitt is refreshingly clean looking (Something that is rare in his more recent films), and does a wonderful job supporting Craig Sheffer's character throughout the film. Sheffer is also very good as Norman Maclean, but the best aspect of this movie is Tom Skerritt who seems born to play the role of Rev. Maclean. This movie follows the book it is based on almost to the letter, and Robert Redford is to be commended for it. The Narration is beautiful, the story is powerful, and the acting is tremendous. All in all, a great movie.
