Entertaining, Witty dialog

See it if for period theater. Convincing sets and costumes are a backdrop for witty repartee between two great performers. Knowing the story helps.

Don't see it if you don't like dramas about sex and power. The ending game could be better developed.

Absorbing, Clever, Dated, Funny, Great staging

See it if The leads are dazzling in the lead roles, the set design beautiful. The story is as fun as ever, with plenty of laughs to be had.

Don't see it if Transitions between scenes are clunky. Certain elements of the story seem dated, some of the grosser moments played for laughs.

Interesting but talky & static

See it if if you liked the movie, want to see McTeer and Schreiber doing a very good job, great female costumes, interested in clever-ish word play

Don't see it if if you're easily distracted by a LOT of talk, not interested in static plays

Absorbing, Clever, Great acting, Intelligent

See it if You enjoy great acting in a fascinating subject. Revenge and what it can do to the person exercising it. Results are unpredictable.

Don't see it if You have no interest in watching people helpless to avoid pain.
