Helen Keller and her miracle worker. Bancroft is superb as teacher. Duke is raw and uncomfortable. B&W works well for theme.
Fantastic acting and intense at points, but emotionally fulfilling.
A really powerful story and Oscar worthy performace by Anne Bancroft.
A touching and insightful true story. Like most old movies, has a tendency to be over acted and long in places but pretty solid performances
Career-defining roles for Patty Duke and Anne Bancroft; may be a bit frustrating for those not familiar with the classics.
Watched this as a kid. Changed my perspective on life
Worth a try if interested but mixed feelings bc it goes from good to boring, insane & even icky in parts (tho some of it’s just the reality)
The Emotional Earthquake That Defines This Film 8/10
I have very mixed feelings about this movie.
Was really beyond its time. And oh what an amazing performance by the lead.
