An engrossing story of the disintegration of a modern loveless marriage.

Top CriticIt's an entertaining satire that disappoints only in the stereotypically limited choices it offers to the woman.

Frank Perry's screen version lacks the satirical bite of the novel but benefits from the powerful performance of Carrie Snodgress who deservedly received an Oscar nomination.

Among the performers, Carrie Snodgress will surely receive the critical praise she deeply deserves.

What makes the movie work, however, is that it's played entirely from the housewife's point of view, and that the housewife is played brilliantly by Carrie Snodgress.
