Gena Rowlands gives a career-defining tour de force performance that is a pinnacle of film-acting in an earth-shattering film that is unlike any other ever made.

A insightful essay on sexual politics: Rowlands is terrific as a housewife who crosses the line into sanity. With a light feminist touch, she is perceived as a victim of repressive patriarchal order.

John Cassavetes was one of those rare artists of whom it could be said that his flaws were his strengths, and his strengths were his flaws...Consequently, the film has to rank somewhere between the two in the Cassavetes canon, and I'd opt for putting it c

Rowlands' performance in the title role is one of those tour de force numbers available only to screen players of alcoholics and lunatics.

Despite the fact that there's a lot of technique on display here, the film still described as cinéma vérité, which I suppose is a testament to how raw and emotional it all feels.

The primal violence that binds men and woman has rarely been evoked as plausibly or intensely as in this 1974 drama.

An astonishing, compulsive film, directed with a crackling energy.

The most frightening scenes are extremely compelling, and this is a thoughtful film that does prompt serious discussion.

Falk and the rest of the cast are exceptional -- even the smallest roles feel spot-on -- but Rowlands is the film.
March 29, 2011
Falk and Rowlands -- in performances of almost indescribable intensity -- detail a marriage anchored by love, but tossed by the expectations of others and the unpredictable swell of madness.
