I had to get a couple hours of sleep after this movie. So devastating, it killed my soul. Great performances and brutally realistic.

This uncompromising portrait of domestic turmoil details the emotional breakdown of a suburban housewife and her family’s struggle to save her from herself. Gena Rowlands and Peter Falk give unforgettably harrowing performances as a married couple deeply in love but unable to express their ardor in terms the other can understand. This landmark American film is perhaps the most beloved work from the extraordinary John Cassavetes.

"Gena Rowlands is fucking awesome here. Cassavetes explores the relationship between a mentally ill woman and his wrathful but loving husband. You gotta love this. "

Nick's Top 100 Films (100 movies items)

""If you look at it from one end of the telescope, it’s a hyperrealistic portrait of a woman going mad, a bravura performance in a vaguely working-class setting... rom the other end, it’s a richly detailed experience, alternately soaring and gut-wrenching, composed in two long, mighty, almost but not quite unwieldy movements." - Kent Jones"
