Evelyn (Kathy Bates) est une femme au foyer d'un certain âge peu satisfaite de sa vie. Un jour elle rencontre une dame âgée, Mme Threadgoode (Jessica Tandy) qui lui raconte l'histoire de deux jeunes femmes dans les années 1930 et du voyage à travers la vie et l'amour. L'amitié des deux filles, Idgie (Marie Stuart Masterson) et Ruth (Marie Louise Parker) donne à Evelyn l'envie d'améliorer sa vie et chance. Un conte chaleureux, touchant et, de temps en temps, très amusant sur l'importance de l'amitié qui met en vedette deux actrices qui ont reçu les Oscars. (AB International Distribution)

An exceptionally honest and strong family drama from the 1990s which is something Americans were good at and they could give it the air of epicness and uniqueness with which they became popular even in my country. It’s a shame that Fried Green Tomatoes are made in a similar fashion yet remain relatively unknown. They don’t deserve it.

I don’t care what others say, this sentimental and touching story really got to me. An absolutely perfect female cast, where each of the actresses gives everything to her role, which is nicely visible in the result. The story itself is beautifully told, not lacking a frame and features countless peripeties, so kudos to the writers. Thomas Newman's score, which first caught my attention in Angels in America, does its thing again, providing the film with an excellent atmosphere along with the cinematography. In short, a film that is about a life that isn't always fair and manages to tangle with the strings of fate.
