A psychologically raw work of sexual politics. Immediately one of my favs. A powerful reminder that (1) violence doesn't solve shit; (2) abnormality is arbitrary and socially constructed. Precise acting, as always, by Gena Rowlands.
10/10 one of the best films from 1970s America, and this film also reminds me of my own family atmosphere at one time, particularly my grandmother, who had passed away a few years earlier, I miss her very much and I love the film extraordinarily
