- The big winner of the 1983 Oscars, this movie holds up relatively well, although there are portions that feel a bit sitcom-y. But that's to be expected, considering director/screenwriter Brooks' background. Overall, though, this remains a funny, touching movie about the relationship of a mother and daughter over several decades.

Full Review | Jul 21, 2022. Terms of Endearment is that uncommon kind of American movie, the kind that doesn't just manipulate our feelings, but releases them. It rates a resounding yes...
Terms of Endearment was potentially a good emotional story but heavily spoiled and completely destroyed by wild characterisation. The story of a mother and a daughter and 2 other important supporting characters doesn't have a single sensible character in the film.
