Bridges is an admirable achievement, one that probably does more to reposition its maker as someone who can carry a movie without carrying a gun than as the director/star of a Love Story for the Loving Care set.
Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer

The result, if rather thin and certainly far from a masterpiece, is nevertheless quite lovely. This affecting little film is easily one of Eastwood's best efforts as a director.
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel
Fresh
The two leads' sly comic rhythm is miles removed from the book's failing solemnity.
Anthony Lane, New Yorker

Eastwood's Bridges has the energy and spontaneity of a picture that was shot quickly. And that serves the material well, because it removes the solemnity that could stiffle a modern classic.
Gene Siskel, Chicago Tribune
