I always avoided this film cause it seemed boring. and it is! boring!
David SimsJan 10, 2021Out of all the Academy Award Best Picture winners I have seen, this is clearly the one that was released in 1985.
Matt SingerAug 26, 2019the first half of this is VERY dull but then the scene where robert redford gently washes meryl streep’s hair happens and you kind of forget how dull everything else has been?? and THEN there’s a scene where robert redford is standing on a porch with one leg all the way up…

Criticisms based on the runtime and the level of boredom are beyond me. This didn't feel long or tedious at all, it is a film of sentiment, a melodrama no doubt, but beautifully crafted and subtly acted out in ways that always had me captivated. It kept a nice balance…
GuiMar 18, 2020imagine you’re meryl and about to be eaten by a lioness and suddenly robert redford appears out of nowhere and saves your life while looking like that. and then you’re lost and he appears again and gives you a compass while looking like that. and then washes your hair while…
sofi✨Jan 28, 2022“Out of Africa” is not a white savior narrative. An accusation like that would imply some action took place to cause the illusion of holier than thou martyrdom. “Out of Africa” is quite simply; not even that interesting. There is, in fact, remarkably little action in…

meganNov 13, 2025This movie looks gorgeous — David Watkin, possibly the most underrated cinematographer of the 20th century? — but also features one of the ugliest, cheapest looking blue screen/rear projection sequences that you’ll ever see in a Hollywood film, let alone a Best Picture…

from reading some reviews, i thought i was going into some great, based on a real story, romance (especially after seeing this won an oscar) but in reality it felt like a movie about a situationship that didn’t move me. i did enjoy meryl streep’s character, Karen and her personal arc with her…
Meg likedOut of AfricaBest Picture Oscar winner 1986 (58th Academy Awards) My Rating: 7.5/10 Nominated for 11 Oscar’s and won 7. Meryl Streep and Robert Redford? Love them. But, this movie is very slow and I probably wouldn’t watch it again. The cinematography was breathtaking.
Dupabiskupa lovedOut of AfricaOne of my favorite movies of all time. I keep coming back to it when I feel low. Movie about friendship, desires, life difficulties and love. It’s real, not sweet. Definitely a must watch if you consider yourself a movie enthusiast

Phenomenal. Cannot rave about this movie enough. Excellent story & the cast is simply brilliant. Cried my eyes out in the end. One for the ages!

Sharlot is "meh" onOut of AfricaAfrica looks beautiful, unfortunately the movie is about boring privileged white colonists

Reyham likedOut of AfricaBoring but the bit with Meryl and young Robert Redford were worth it

It`s a shame to have to knock the otherwise beautiful and haunting picture, but when you`re watching a love story and you can`t stand the character who is being loved, that makes for a very frustrating movie-going experience.

Chicago Tribune
It's big, beautiful, and imposing. But there isn't much to it, and pretty pictures -- replacing ideas, not supporting them -- are its only real attraction.
David Sterritt
Christian Science Monitor
Just as the film captures a world (Imperialism, hunting, colonialism) that has faded away, so this film feels like one of the last of it's kind.
