 ... whose life falls apart when her beloved older brother is hit by a train and dies right in front of her eyes. She hides herself away and refuses to socialise with anyone until Ruth comes along and brings her out of herself. Their love for each other is beautifully portrayed - there is a hint that Idgie's love for Ruth is more than just friendship, but it is never spoken. Idgie is a lovely character - sometimes infuriatingly bossy and overbearing - but she is always fair and she values those that she loves. Mary Stuar...more

"Fried Green tomatoes at the Whistlestop cafè" is one of my favourite films. It is one of those I can see again, and again and again. It is a quite long film, but it also deals with quite many sides of life. It is telling two stories at the same time, and what connect them together is an old lady on a retirement home telling her story to a middleaged woman.. who is dealing with her own problems. Evenly Couch (Kathy Bates) is the middleaged woman, struggling to be recognised. Her husband care more about sports, and even the classes Evelyn is taking in order to help their marriage does not turn out to be any helpful. When she goes with ...  Read the complete review
