I gave it a 6 based on the performances, but I agree it was a bit disappointing. It's hard to believe Glenda Jackson won the Best Actress Oscar for this over Ellen Burstyn in "The Exorcist."
I agree. This was one of the top 5 movies of 1973 according to "Oscar"??? What I did take away from this movie was a sense of film history. It said alot about the times. The casual-ness of their affair and the language really surprised me.
shareyes, I agree. Recently saw it again for the second time and it felt very dated.
didn't like the characters at all,particularly Glenda Jackson's.Awful women with no redeeming features as far as I could see. And that hair is so obviously a wig!
It drags on and on ...............grim and boring.
I can't imagine how this could have been nominated for Best Picture or how it could have won Glenda Jackson a second Oscar for Best Actress.
I personally would have given the Oscar for Barbra Streisand for "The Way We Were" that year. Too bad she was so unpopular among her colleagues.
