Movie Reviews

Reviewed by Jack S 7 / 10

This intelligent and well adapted play about early

This intelligent and well adapted play about early twentieth century English society is supported by superior work by a fine cast (Hawthorne is a standout as the boy’s driven father). However, Pidgeon (Mrs. Mamet) is one exceptional weak point. She’s adequate to the role, but not a match for the others in either acting chops or likability. But overall this is a fine adaptation, although not the equal of the 1948 version.

Despite the distinct lack of non-stop casual cursing

Despite the distinct lack of non-stop casual cursing, Rattigan's play is actually the perfect material for Mamet to adapt (quick detailed filled dialogue, examination of a supposed crime, etc.) and he does so without indulging in too many of his quirks.

Such a gripping move and wonderful character study

Such a gripping move and wonderful character study. At first glance Rebecca's performance may seem to be underplayed; however it is her cool demeanor and high intelligence coupled with the tense undercurrent with three suitors that keep one rapt. Mamet's direction is superb. He is a genius. It is impossible to take your eyes, but most especially your ears off the screen. The reasons may be to find out if the boy is lying or how the family will fare physically, emotionally and fiscally. It may be the outcome of the lie upon which the story hinges. But, Rebecca's character is much more engrossing than the fallout from the boy's possible lie. Her acting is superb. The nuances of her performance and the tension produced by her relational outcome keeps one riveted.
