A Woman Under the Influence Reviews
Gena Rowlands does something that actors playing mentally ill characters almost never do—just play the person.
Rowland’s brave performance has such emotional depth it sometimes threatens to go off the rails, but the actress always knows just when to dial it back a bit. It’s a true beguiling turn.
A searing, emotionally exhausting kitchen sink drama that's also bizarrely funny, with world-class performances from Gena Rowlands and Peter Falk.
An uncompromising (if overlong) drama.
John Cassavetes’s films were born out of emotional truth.
The work Rowlands did with Cassavetes blew out the boundaries of screen acting into something bigger, rawer and more dangerous than we’d seen before or since, both larger than life and more brutally intimate.
The film seems to me to go badly wrong... The optimistic ending, in the circumstances, is a joke.
Not a scene is wasted in 2 hours and 30 minutes of drama, and it is pure joy to watch such accomplished actors work with all the time they need for fully fleshed performances.
Cassavetes has gone so far over to the most literal-minded Laing position that the society he shows us is implausible -- a society of boorish people with such limited awareness that they're barely human.
Regarded by some as John Cassavetes’ masterpiece, it’s also not a bad place for Cassavetes newcomers to start.
John Cassavetes’ most revered film, “A Woman Under the Influence”, is one of cinema’s exemplary works of realism.
The film's incidents... look and sound like improvisations in which a dreary little situation is stretched, worried, reiterated until any spectator with a sense of the value of his time must turn as blue in the face as the hero's collar.
his unsparing actors' tour de force (Gena Rowlands and Peter Falk at their career peaks) reveals just how much today's Sundance family dramas owe to indie movement founder John Cassavetes.
What keeps this from being one more soap opera is the superb acting of Gena Rowlands and Peter Falk.
His most devastating film to date, it proves Cassavetes is a master of sensitivity, intimacy and passion on the screen.
The filmmaking represents the raw power independent [cinema] can have.
'Be yourself,' Nick implores Mabel. But how do you be yourself if you have no longer have a self?
Mental illness as theater.
It should be seen for its undeniably brilliant elements.
Cassavetes makes the viewer's frustration work as part of the film's expressiveness; it has an emotional rhythm unlike anything else I've ever seen.
