Divorced and creeping past middle age, real estate agent Frank Harmon (William Holden) isn't interested in falling in love anymore. But when he reluctantly picks up impoverished teenage hitchhiker Breezy (Kay Lenz) outside his Los Angeles home, she manages to break through his gruff facade. Before long, she moves in with him, and the two enjoy an unlikely romance despite their difference in age and beliefs. Problems arise, however, when Frank's peers become critical of his new relationship.

3/4

...a predictably slow-moving drama that grows more and more absorbing as it progresses...

This Manic Pixie Dream Girl prototype is like a puppy, unruly but adoring and adorable, as well as clothing-resistant. The May-December "now romance" was poorly received then, and today is pretty much unwatchable.

3/4

What's remarkable about the film is that the love story never feels offensive, exploitative, or icky; instead, it's intelligent, believable, and sympathetic.

3.5/4

Looks like some remnant from the hippie days. But what a surprise to see that Breezy is really quite touching and even delightful.

Things do get a bit better for [Holden], if not for us.

A bit of low-key captivation, specifically Californian yet curiously Gallic

What can I say about Breezy? Yes, it may reek a little of snobbishness, to take one of Clint(TM)s lesser known directorial efforts and plant it smack-dab in his all-time top five, but Breezy is a dusty jewel of a movie. Similar to the irritating, inter-generational quirk-bomb that is Harold and Maude, Clintï¿ 1/2 1/2(TM)s film tells of a bed-hopping beatnik played by Kay Lenz and her slow, steady and utterly charming relationship with an older, starched-shirt divorcee played by William Holden. In the press of late, Clint has lambasted what he believes to be a be a generation of pampered, politically correct pussies, but a film like Breezy, which is so affirmative about the notion of peaceful co-existence and accepting primal impulses, you canï¿ 1/2 1/2(TM)t help but think that itï¿ 1/2 1/2(TM)s all just stealth marketing for Sully. (May December romance has hardy looked better onscreen).

surpreendentemente, as alegrias de Breezy residem no 'como' em vez do 'o que' neste encantador romance dirigido por Clint Eastwood
