Movie Reviews

Film Threat - 9/10 by Phil HallUnlike wine, bad films do not get better with age.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 8/10 by Dennis SchwartzI found it entertaining as a bad film, one that detracts from the Greek tragedy with ludicrous offerings of sex.
ColeSmithey.com - 8/10 by Cole Smithey"Phaedra" straddles a line between ancient and modern sensibilities. It is an undervalued and underseen example of mythology adapted to cinema.
The Spectator - 4/10 by Isabel QuiglyWhen you think of the repetitiveness of film love-scenes and the low emotional temperature as a result, it seems odd how little has been done on these lines.
User Review - 8/10 by Evan HContrary to popular opinion, I really liked this movie. I thought that Mercouri and Perkins roles were well acted. The music was perfectly suited to the mood of the film. Some of the shots and montage were memorably unique: the melding of water and fire during the love scene, the final sequence, etc.
User Review - 8/10 by Aj VI liked Perkins in this movie, but the rest of the cast isn't as good. The story is interesting too, and the ending is good, but I would have ended it differently. Overall a good movie.
User Review - 8/10 by James LUnforgettable. One of the classiest movies ever made.
User Review - 6/10 by Allan CAnthony Perkins has mommy issue again in the Jules Dassin film that's a modern retelling of the greek tragedy, Phadra. Melina Mercouri is the star of the film as a Greek shipping magnet who has an affair with her stepson with tragic consequences. The story, as you would expect with Greek tragedy, is extremely overwrought but that doesn't translate so well to a modern setting. Dasssin directs the film with far more of a European arthouse type of style, which looks more like a Jean Cocteau film than it does one of his noir or caper films. It's interesting to see Dassin make a film with such style and that alone was enough to hold my interest, but the characters and situations were not so believable or engaging.
User Review - 6/10 by Marla NThe movie was a little hard to follow at first..it's really one of those films that gets better as it moves along. The acting was good..Tony did decently well. He's so good looking, it really doesn't matter anyway. The love between him & Phaedra is a little disturbing..it's that sick kind of lust/love. It was quite predictable..esp. the ending. Overall, it's quite entertaining..esp. if you are a fan of Anthony Perkins.
User Review - 6/10 by Ashley HThe performance of Mercouri is dreaded whereas that of Perpkins is himself.
