It’s always strange to think of legends as underrated, but we live in a weird world. It took the death of Aretha Franklin for mainstream discourse to fully acknowledge her musical genius beyond her voice (her astonishing knack for arranging songs, her emotive piano playing). Mariah Carey didn’t receive a swell of universal acclaim on a long-form project until her 15th album, 2018's Caution. And Barbra Streisand’s directing, specifically that for her 1991 family-therapy drama The Prince of Tides, has gone largely, unfairly unsung.

, as well as other Best Picture contenders directed by women who weren’t nominated for their directing, like Penny Marshall’sdirector Robert Rodriguez that as a result of thefinds Streisand lifting herself up by the bootstraps in the form of physical media. She’s all over the Blu-ray/DVD release, which boasts a director-approved new 4K transfer and an updated commentary track that Streisand performs with rhythm and dynamic flair , as well as interviews, several outtakes, and rehearsals.

Streisand’s storytelling is direct and effective, buoyed by frank, lived-in performances almost across the board.In the bonus material, Streisand makes it clear that what fascinated her about this story, adapted from Pat Conroy’s beloved 1986 novel of the same name, was its meditation on masculinity—what men are “allowed” to feel versus what they do, and what it means to break a steely facade.

Streisand’s performance itself is underrated, I think—she has a kind of clipped, synthetic naturalism that is pure technique. I don’t know how muchis there, per se, but she’s fantastically watchable as she transitions from uptight to effusive. Everyone else looks like their clothes were made of bedding fished out of a Kohl’s bargain bin and she’s running around in sharp suits that would look good today. Also, this movie is, in no small part, a showcase for her nails, and nails they were.

So, Streisand laments not getting a Director nod for Tides because it was a Best Picture nominee...but also laments not getting one for Yentl, which wasn’t a Picture nominee. RichJuz
