George (Richard Burton) and Martha (Dame Elizabeth Taylor) are a middle-aged married couple, whose charged relationship is defined by vitriolic verbal battles, which underlies what seems like an emotional dependence upon each other. This verbal abuse is fueled by an excessive consumption of alcohol. George being an associate history professor in a New Carthage university where Martha's father is the President adds an extra dimension to their relationship. Late one Saturday evening after a faculty mixer, Martha invites Nick (George Segal) and Honey (Sandy Dennis), an ambitious young biology professor new to the university and his mousy wife, over for a nightcap. As the evening progresses, Nick and Honey, plied with more alcohol, get caught up in George and Martha's games of needing to hurt each other and everyone around them. The ultimate abuse comes in the form of talk of George and Martha's unseen sixteen-year-old son, whose birthday is the following day.
Leave your thoughts about Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?.
| Time OutGeoff AndrewEdward Albee's vitriolic stage portrayal of domestic blisslessness translated grainily and effectively to the screen. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrMike Nichols had the Burtons for his first film (1966), but he felt compelled to drag in so many jazzy camera tricks that Richard and Elizabeth seem largely superfluous for the first couple of reels. When Nichols finally settles down, it's almost too late. |
| Entertainment WeeklyJoe McGovernIt features the best real-life husband-wife pairing onscreen ever. |
| MovieMartyr.comJeremy HeilmanIt earns the hell that it puts us through by never compromising its vision of it. |
| Nolan's Pop Culture ReviewMichael A. SmithGreat cast plus great script equals great movie! Liz and Dick at their best. |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonIt's one of the Academy's black marks that Burton didn't win the Best Actor Oscar for his remarkable, career-capping performance. |
| culturevulture.netLes WrightPart nightmare, part psychotherapy, part docudrama, part cultural meta-narrative, part transcendent myth. |
| Eye for FilmJennie KermodeTaylor has the capacity to be dowdy yet glamorous, crude yet sensual at the same time. This is a career best performance for her. |
| The Retro SetNathanael HoodOne of the defining American films of the 1960s. |
| The New York TimesStanley KauffmannIn its forthright dealing with the play, this becomes one of the most scathingly honest American films ever made. |
