The tension in this movie is incredible and there were many moments that made me weep. I am surprised at all the low ratings. It may require patience at times - it can be quite slow - but the emotion is so raw and authentic in this film. I…

Beguiling performances by each actor in this classic, yet tragic, tale. Ms. Ullmann hits a chord with our emotions. Well worth a look.

This movie is not good for the very young. The script represents how society was in 1860 in England. The class society was very strong. The different classes were not allowed to co-exist together except in limited circumstances. If a…

I waffled about whether to give one star or 3-1/2, because there's some all-in acting going on, but I cannot recommend this at all. Warning : unexpected awful scene, I haven't screamed like that since Hannibal TV. Warning : it's not a…

I expected that the movie would be good once I saw the names of three excellent actors (Chastain, Farrell and Morton), and that the film was written and directed by Liv Ullman. It was extremely tedious, too much talking, not enough…

In our Twitter age this Liv Ullman adaptation, clocking in at over two hours, of the Strindberg classic is a fish out of water. If you like words and are interested in class and sexuality this movie might hold your attention. It is…

Extremely slow movie. Wanted to turn it off many times but keep watching hoping it would get better. Nope never did. Though the acting was good. They both can play crazy well.

Yikes. This is pretty twisty and intense. I can't honestly say that I enjoyed it.

I was not familiar with Strindberg's play, and was bewildered by the first scenes of this movie version directed by Liv Ullmann. The power balance between a young lady and her servants takes a while to become clear. But I recommend staying…

The film reminds the audience that much of the late 19th century social chaos on class is still alive today, as the OWS movement, based on the classic Strindberg play, serious theater and not some "Three's Company" erotic comedy.

Fans of Chastain or of Farrell (looking the worse for wear) may want to add this to their lists, but it will be tough going for others.... ** At 2' 10" running time, it's just too long -- and too s l o w: too many lengthy…
