Starts out kind of sharp and fun, and then just goes on and on and on about nothing, long after it's worn out its welcome. How on Earth Schlesinger thought this character deserved a two-hour movie is beyond me. The acting is decent though, and Laurence Harvey's hair is amazing.

The dialogue is bitingly funny in this bittersweet story. Great acting from the three leads but I couldn't help being a bit annoyed by the very English hoyte toyte accents.

A complex, smart drama with excellent and well played characters. I didn't sense condescension toward Julie Christie's "amoral", "decadent" escapades as Diana. She is strong-willed but weak in character, fickle and impulsive but not cold or calculated, she is sensitive and secretly miserable, and it is easy to sympathize with her.

One of those films that probably had it's hand on the pulse of the times but doesn't hold up so well, though the performances and some individual scenes are good enough to make it work. It's mainly a film about the ennui and moral hypocrisy of the upper class with Christie playing the female counterpart of Marcello in La Dolce Vita. Like that film a charismatic lead makes it watchable but it gets lost in the glamour and while it occasionally bares teeth never bites.

Brilliant performance by Julie Christie (& she won the Oscar for it, too). Diana Scott is one of the 60s first antiheroes. You feel a tremendous amount of sympathy for her even though you know she lacks the self awareness & discipline that she needs to improve her life & make it all work. Lacerating study of the jet set lifestyle that was just coming into popular culture.
