| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyThis trashy melodrama, based on John O'Hara novel, who also provided the story for Butterfield 8, is poorly executed and mostly known for its Oscar nomination. |
| User ReviewRonaldo FGood movie. It addresses the issue of pseudo-men, self-sufficient because of their own social hierarchy, who commit crimes of sexual abuse and are never held accountable. On the other hand, it shows the psychopathy of a woman who, even though she knows that she confesses to being on the wrong side of virtue, will not recriminate herself enough to find the strength to overcome her addiction. It is a faithful picture of the biblical passage of Mary Magdalene. "Where are your accusers?" "It's up to the movie buff to believe in a redemption, like The Wind Took." |
