Fact-based story about Jean Harris (Annette Bening), a woman who was accused of murdering famed Scarsdale Diet Dr. Herman (Hi) Tarnower (Ben Kingsley) after being in a relationship with him for 14 years. Depicted as a womanizer, Dr. Tarnower had earlier asked Mrs. Harris, a divorced school teacher, to marry him. But when faced with upcoming nuptials, he backed out. The story depicts Mrs. Harris as a distraught and obsessive woman who may have been suffering from some mental illness and based on a note sent to the doctor, may have been suicidal at the time of the murder. She contended that Dr. Tarnower was shot while the two wrestled with a gun she was going to use to kill herself. Contains profanity and sexual situations, including implied masturbation.

| VarietyDennis HarveyPlaywright Phyllis Nagy's film directorial bow is an uneven affair. |
| New York Magazine/VultureJohn LeonardWhat [director Phyllis Nagy] has done is tailor this tabloid material to several different narrative tastes, which alternate as the movie shifts from love affair to temper tantrum to gunfire to murder trial and back again... |
| Hollywood Report CardRoss AnthonyThe story is interesting, the characters are interesting, and while never boring, the picture never greatly impresses nor has much in the way of insight. |
| User Review'Luke SI love anything with Annette Bening in it. She plays the drugged out middle aged woman very well such as in Mrs. Harris and Running with Scissors. very interesting movie. makes you rethink the typical bad guy-good guy murder case. |
| User ReviewSamantha SGlossy and satiric telling of the Jean Harris-Herbert Tarnower affair, and his subsequent murder(?) at her hands. Bening's Jean starts out as a beguiling divorcee entranced by the charismatic Scarsdale diet doctor (played brilliantly by Ben Kingsley). Eventually, his eye wanders to younger women, and her grip on reality wanders as well. Film's climax shows different perspectives of what might have happened that night at his home when he is fatally wounded - even now, it's hard to tell the facts from the emotional fiction. Cloris Leachman has a juicy turn as the doctor's skeptical sister. |
| User ReviewAndrew Sreese and i bought this movie for 5 bucks one night...had some dinner and wine and watched this movie...its was good!!! |
| User ReviewKatie Swow. Annette Bening is hardcore. only she could make that kind of desperate dependence on an emotionally with-holding man (holy sh** I wish I wasn't identifying with her so much) look dignified. Ben Kingsley is a five star horrible 'Sexy Beast' of a stone-cold bastard too yeah. Top drawer. The dialogue and narrative was stellar too ... I kept re-winding bits just to hear that great line again; the same way I re-read paragraphs I love in books. Great writing ... and pretty music too. |
| User ReviewK J EAn excellent film made me really like the actors and loved the throw back to other films |
| User ReviewBrian WWords can't describe the quality of this movie. |
| User ReviewHelena KThat one should see a woman pushed away by a man, love of her life and see that breaking up is sometimes a good thing, even if you love this man like crazy, otherwise you can end up like Mrs. Harris. Even the strongest and the most charismatic woman is just like poor little thing standing on her knees and begging for ...love. |
