Two heavyweight actors at their best. Script isn’t particularly memorable, it’s wisest choice is letting Price and Close do their thing.
A great drama! Moving and intense with believable characters. Way better than expected
Close deserved the Oscar for this. An important film about sacrifices, with an amazing twist. Terrific picture!
Makes you thinking what it takes to be a genius, and what it takes from people around said genius
Glen Close is simply outstanding. She subtly illuminates the flicker of rage & resentment behind the veil of a devoted & supportive wife.
Quite interesting Glenn Close is amazing playing a complicate character. The plot is quite predictable though
Glenn Close gives one of the best performances I've ever seen. The story and direction are also very engaging.
The movie has a lot of problems but the amazing Jonathan Pryce and the mesmerisingly outstanding goddess named Glenn Close saved it all!
Pretty average film, the acting is excellent though.
Glenn Close gives a great performance. Engaging albeit slightly cliche family dynamic. Decent watch.
