a charming drama, powerful stuff here. it moves abruptly but with a good stride--i was never bored, and i found the story to be very interesting.

Overly reverential adaptation from a notoriously mendacious literary source.

Rather boring but well shot and well acted.

Just horrible. If I wanted to watch a bunch of people smoke and talk about nothing, I'd visit my parents.

Worth watching perhaps solely for the Vanessa Redgrave scene. Where Fonda lacks nuance, Redgrave more than makes up for it with an oscar worthy supporting role.

The outstanding acting elevates infinitely. What Redgrave does with her character in her really short screentime is a wonder to watch.
