I love it but it makes less sense without gay implications from the play
Incredible story! The themes, the dialog, the acting - everything is perfect! Not face paced but mesmerizing
Great actors, memorable lines but lost some of its meaning because of censorship. Still a beautiful movie
Great film. Elizabeth Taylor at her best. Definitely a film to watch
The whole cast is marvelous. Desperation, angst and anger are perfectly portrayed in a setting that lets you have some comedic relief.
Great dialogue, great acting and an interesting plot line. Represents the nature of tense family relations well.
A dysfunctional family is full of needs and secrets. Elizabeth Taylor is soooo beautiful. Why her husband won't touch her. Hmmm?!
An interweaving tale of lies and harsh truths coming together through gripping performances and fantastic dialogue.
Good adaptation of T. Williams play. Guilt ridden ex football star, unsatisfied woman, Miserable lives. If you like poetic drama, see it.
I’ve not seen the play so I can’t compare. The writing is excellent. As good as WAOVW? is this is the magnum opus of Liz’s acting.
