Jeff Bridges and Barbra Streisand standing in the street together in The Mirror Has Two Faces (1996)
Some of the best actors in history have been robbed of any acknowledgment of their extraordinary talents until much later in their careers, if at all. Lauren Bacall, one of the numerous legendary actresses that emerged out of Hollywood’s Golden Age, was one of those performers. Famously known for her timeless, if not controversial romance with Humphrey Bogart, Bacall had quite the life in the limelight alongside her famed husband until his passing in the late 50s.
The Mirror Has Two Faces showcased the potential of bringing two powerhouse women together in a picture that redefined the romance genre in a multitude of ways, setting itself apart from other romance titles of its time. Instead of retelling a friends-to-lovers story, as seen in When Harry Met Sally, or revisiting the star-crossed lovers trope, like in Sleepless in Seattle, Mirror is daring in its approach to simultaneously show the realism of romance and journey to self-acceptance.
Despite the film's troubled production, Streisand demonstrated her ability to craft a narrative that is both heartwarming and profoundly honest. The Mirror Has Two Faces explores themes of beauty, self-worth, and the intricacies of love with a subjective touch, blending comedy with moments of genuine emotional depth. Streisand’s direction is the work of a perfectionist, allowing each character to shine while weaving together a story that feels both personal and universal.
