Leave your thoughts about Wit.
| New York Magazine/VultureJohn LeonardFrom the Margaret Edson play that deserved its Pulitzer Prize, Mike Nichols has made a television movie that deserves not only an Emmy but our baffled gratitude as well. |
| CinemaniaDan JardineThompson gives a real tour-de-force performance, moving professor Bearing from bemusement to curiousity, fear to confusion, anger to anguish with skilful subtlety |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA powerful drama about dying and death that will soften the heart of anyone who sees it. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid NusairThe dour subject matter and director Mike Nichols' unflinching approach may make this a difficult viewing, but it is rewarding. |
| User ReviewDavid BThis film delicately balanced the harsh reality of cancer-treatment (as well as patient care) mixed with light humor. The combination is witty. Emma Thompson deserves an oscar for this (i think she did win some award but i forget which one.) Highly recommend this one! |
| User ReviewAbby NIntimate and intense, beautiful and devastating. Incredible acting and writing. |
| User ReviewPedro PIs there hope? This is an in your face look at a woman dying of cancer. Or is it? |
| User ReviewMonica NEmma Thompson will make you want to cry. Great scripting and directing. Challenges the doctor-patient relationship, the hard cold, touching truth. |
| User ReviewFingerless FBeautifully written and wonderfully performed |
| User ReviewBrian SEmma Thompson is amazing. The writing is awsome and the poetry sublime. I've watched this movie 4 or 5 times - and see it new each time. I love the 'hysterical punctionation', the 'descent into anglo saxon', and finally the 'runaway bunny' scenes particularly. |
