Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

hmoika I have Amazon to thank for suggesting this film. I'm a romantic type of guy, and had ordered "Summer of '42" because I remembered seeing it in the theater on its first release. Well, Amazon suggested "Breezy" and......how could I resist?Where do I begin? This film just warmed my heart, as I sat here on Christmas afternoon with some champagne (okay, so the champagne warmed me too). So much has been said by the others reviewing this, so I don't have much more to add. Everything about it......William Holden, Kay Lenz, Marj Dusay, Roger C. Carmel....all of the lesser names too; the script holds things together, keeps things moving. Clint Eastwood directs with sensitivity.I do agree with the reviewer who said this was Kay Lenz's film. She is simply wonderful. However, it's easy to overlook William Holden's subdued performance. It's so hard to play an old codger stuck in his ways, and NOT to over-do it. His work was sublime. Also, it was so good to see Marj Dusay in this film. I can always rely on her.Only one thing disappoints: that such a loving story would probably not be produced today, in fear of offending millions of uptight people, and having the studio slapped with law suits.I've now ordered a second DVD copy of this film. I need to know that I'll be able to watch it each Christmas, in the years I have left to me.

SnoopyStyle Edith 'Breezy' Breezerman (Kay Lenz) is a free-loving hippie. She's an orphan from Intercourse, Pennsylvania. After finishing high school, she wanted to see the world and ended up in L.A. She sleeps with random strangers for a warm bed. She's hitchhiking and escapes from a creep. Divorced real-estate agent Frank Harmon (William Holden) reluctantly helps her. She sees a Black Cloud hanging over him. She insinuates herself into his life and they begin a relationship.Romance is not really a Clint Eastwood forte. This is one of his earlier directing efforts. Kay Lenz is the classic Manic Pixie Dream Girl and the May to December romance is awkward at first. It all relies on Kay Lenz and she delivers a confident performance. She makes this simple story work. William Holden is able to be a not-dirty old man. The relationship is actually compelling although Eastwood should lose the montage of the romantic strode on the beach.

Reno Rangan This is one of the earlier directional venture for Clint Eastwood. Probably not famous among his fans as his other flicks, but I totally loved it. I did not know it was his film till I saw, though he did not star in it, because the story needed an older actor than he was at that time. To me this film looked like a sweet poem, one of the rare romance theme, and most probably for the open minded people. Now this entered into my all time favourite list. So now you know how much I liked it, but I want to write more about it...It was a wonderful opening, I mean very simple, but you will remember forever the Breezy's introduction, step by step her trademarks like her attire; a hat and an old jacket, guitar that never used and the way she's living her life on the daily basis. We never know why she chose that life, but her kindness really reaches our heart. She's not just like her kind of people, I mean Americans call them hippy, but very soon the film reveals her emotional side when she finds a dead dog on the road side. So she runs away from a man she just met leaving her things behind in the car, but again, they meet in an unexpected circumstance like a fate brought them together. Their relationship as well gets more intentional by the days passing by. But the unavoidable differences between them and the society that talks behind them forces them apart. The remaining tale is to disclose whether they remain true to their hearts or the reality takes over.Don't misunderstand what you read in synopsis, this is not a sexual exploration or drugs and alcohol related thematic product. This is a cute romance film between an older man and an older teenage girl. So it is good for the grown-up audience and maybe matured teens, particularly not for the people who are culturally, religiously attached to. I don't think so, I would have liked it if I saw it ten years ago. Maybe the age factor played a role here, I'm a different person now, but I'm glad I saw it at the right time of my life. Like there's a saying, better late than never, anyway, I was not even born when it came out."Nobody matures. They just grow tired."Not just Clint Eastwood's direction, but the writing was top class. Everybody who worked for the film delivered, but still I can't understand how it went unnoticed all these years. Both the lead actors were extraordinary. Great, an unusual chemistry, especially William Holden was made for the character he had played in this. And for Kay Lenz, it will be her best film, particularly from those I've seen. She also nominated for the Golden Globe for her role in this, but I feel she should have won it. The musics and songs were good with the beautiful cinematography. You will never know how this film ends so fast, that kind of addictive it is that makes you forget the time.The most of the film focused on the two main characters and they are completely different from one another which was neatly briefed on the screen for us. It took enough time to set the tone right, particularly the old man's, but Breezy was very easy and everybody who watches this film would surely fall in love with her. Eastwood did not make many romance films, but from those this would definitely remain on the top. He said he liked this one very much, it is his one of the favourite among his directional features. I would have not minded if he had played the lead role with make-up to change the look, but I'm very happy with the existing casting. It opened with the character Breezy, but soon the narration shifts to an old man's perspective. Slightly an emotional tale, but in a romantic way. There were many touching and memorable lines. When I like a film, I would watch it again in a short gap and I did for this. But the result was same, I liked it even more on my second viewing. Forget the respond it got when it got released, but those who watched it in the recent time praising it a lot. Definitely it's going to set a cult status once a good number of people saw it, definitely it should be. For now it is like another 'Melody', so I strongly suggest you to watch it and spread the words. I hope you realise I'm not wrong.9/10

FilmCriticLalitRao What was America like for a young woman in 1973 ? If this is the question on your mind then Breezy is the perfect film which can provide all the right answers. For those who claim to be experts, it needs to be told that its impact on American cinema is absolutely immense as it continues to be an honest reflection of the spirit of those 1970s carefree moments. What makes 'Breezy' important is that it is not known by many viewers even in USA. This has somewhat given it a kind of 'cult' film status. American actress Kay Lenz is absolutely perfect in her role as Breezy, a young woman who is not sure if she has found the right man in her life. It is remarkable to see how her 'happy go lucky' persona gets rid of many prevalent taboos namely an old man enjoying the company of a young lady as girl friend. While making Breezy, director Clint Eastwood proved that he is no Alfred Hitchcock by not appearing in a cameo role in his own film. However, Mr. Eastwood could not resist the temptation of paying a 'homage' to his own 'larger than life' personality by showing one of his films being played in a cinema where this film's actors go to watch a movie.
