Absorbing, Great acting, Relevant, Thought-provoking, Apocalyptic

See it if You like realistic drama, are into depressing world events and their domestic fallout, like good acting, enjoyed the movie "Marty"

Don't see it if You only like costume dramas, are already too depressed by the last election to think further about the threat of nuclear war or misogyny Read more

Slow, Thought-provoking, Intense, Great acting, Resonant

See it if complex interrelationships, effect of extreme fear and helplessness on them and overwhelming compulsion to status quo fascinate you

Don't see it if you have a short attention span, tire, abhor violence, psychological/physical abuse and stereotypes, or avoid reminders of current threats

Slow, Thought-provoking, Good acting, Intense

See it if Historically compelling melodrama; mash-up of Chayefskian kitchen sink realism & Strangelovian nuclear paranoia. Powerful acting by leads.

Don't see it if Extremely slow & verbose first act nearly implodes piece; jump starts with arrival of abusive husband/vet Burt (explosive Dan Yaiullo)
