The way Polanski keeps us glued to the sofa is amazing. A delicate issue very well put in a film. Weaver nails it, it looked like she was on the stage. So many people have been tortured and much of what happened is still hidden. Great movie, it never gets old.

This is the point where Polanski, no doubt owing to circumstantial constraints, began focusing on intimate chamber dramas often based on plays. Death and the Maiden is what you might call a chamber political thriller. The text's great complexity bolsters the suspense, adding constant little twists and turns, but to its detriment renders the film stagy and less realistic. Weaver's great talent is stretched to its limit, showing signs of effort at the peaks, but Kingsley's mastery is unassailable.

Death and the Maiden shows its source medium of a play very clearly in positive ways with a gripping single-setting that has a curious mystery and high stakes. The combination works like a guarantee and it's entertaining throughout. Weaver overacts incredibly and actually loses sympathy, not as a victim, but as a human being. Wilson is the only reasonable character and by extension, performance, but Kingsley's mostly good. Fairly silly throughout thanks to Weaver, but this is worth your time.

Utterly irritating. But even the relentless heavy-handedness of both the writing and the directing can't kill the integrity of the performances of the two leads.

Very gripping throughout, very similar to most Post-Tate Polanski movies, where they deal with the drama between only a couple of people in a small space. The theme seems to be forgiveness through the admission of guilt.
