Great, great, great and very sweet movie!!, 15 February 2005
10/10
Author: jesy-1 from Buenos Aires, Argentina

The Mirror has Two Faces is a very beautiful movie, directed by the brilliant Barbra Streisand. It tells the story about Gregory, a math teacher at Columbian University, who doesn't believe that sex and love should go together, that's the reason why he meets Rose, because he wants a relationship without sex. When they get married Rose needs to feel different things but Gregory does not want to have sex with her, so Rose decides to change his appearance for her husband, but she does not know that Gregory loves her just in the way she is. Beautiful love story,about human relations and that you discover that you love someone when is far. Great performances from Barbra Sreisand who plays a wonderful Rose Morgan, who doesn't believe in her real beauty, and Jeff Bridges who plays the professor who is not interested in sex, Gregory. Without doubts is one of the best movies from 1996 and is one of the best romantic films ever, because it shows very well the real mean of love, that it is stronger than another things without importance. If you love Barbra Sreisand's movies, and good love stories you have to see "The Mirror Has Two Faces". My score: 10/10
