If watching almost 2 1/2 hours of an aging actress in the 1970s lose her mind is your thing, you'll enjoy this movie. Rowlands was extremely convincing. Some of the scenes are so awkward they're even genuinely funny. The rest of the actors were also very good. The character development is right up there with some of the best I've ever seen...but at what cost? This film ran too long for me about a depressing subject to which I didn't relate very much. Also, the audio/visual quality has not stood up to the test of time. So, although it was an extremely, well-done film for what it is, I didn't like what it is very much. I'd recommend this film to an artsy, post-menopausal woman...everyone else who watches this movie may find out how excruciatingly slowly 2 1/2 hours can pass.
