Movie Reviews of Death and the Maiden
Movie Review: Not as good as many claim
Summary: 3 Stars
If you have read the play by Ariel Dorfman, I think you will find this movie adpatation to be wanting. Though there are fine performances by Weaver and Kingsley, Polanski connects too many of the dots for the viewer, leaving little doubt as to the credibility (or madness) of the main characters. It was this very ambiguity that made the play so enjoyable, but this is not evident in the DVD.Movie Review: Not Polanski's best film.
Summary: 2 Stars
I didn't like this film, I thought that Sigourney Weaver's character was annoying. I also found the film to be slow moving and somewhat dull. All in all, I don't recommend this film, and put it in the same class as one of his other films, Cul-De-Sac, which also was dull and boring. All his other films I enjoy though.
