• Film directed by Neil LaBute (2006)

  [4/10]

  "Perhaps another male lead could have given a more plausible performance, but then you would also have to deal with the pathetic script that makes even talented women like Ellen Burstyn sound like a brainwashed robot.

• Film directed by Robin Hardy (1973)

  "This original production far suprasses the recent remake."
