Two line Reviews - #58

Movie: The Grapes of Wrath (1940)



Claps:
A moving family drama that depicts the struggles of a family in the era of US Depression while trying to move from Oklahoma to California in search of a job when forced to move off their land.
The family - a proud one at that, inspiring final words of Ma towards the end.
Henry Fonda - He plays his role of a responsible son turned rebel with aplomb.

Blips:
The film takes a detour just before it hits the climax. There is some drop in tempo.
The way Fonda arrives from penitentiary exactly on the day his family is california-bound is too much for a coincidence.

Overall Score: 9.3/10
