Starring: Jane Fonda, Donald Sutherland, Roy Scheider, Rita Gam
Director: Alan J. Pakula
Pakula, when he is not indulging in subjective camera, strives to give his film the look of structural geometry, but despite the sharp edges and dramatic spaces and cinema presence out of Citizen Kane, it all suggests a tepid, rather tasteless mush.
Sutherland is either an excellent sounding board for this nuanced portrait or he's a big zero, probably both. Fonda, however, transcends her limitations, making the most of her often forced quality as an actress.
Fonda is simply a revelation, beautiful, sassy and streetwise, and yet hauntingly vulnerable. She deserved her Oscar in a role she has never bettered.
A gripping suspense thriller; Fonda tough and vulnerable deserved her Oscar here.

Informed in part by the conventions of film noir...Klute manages to distil them all into something highly original and distinctly unsettling.
Klute was fresh when it came out in the 1970s, but time has taken away much of its boldness.

An exciting murder-mystery story that serves as a fascinating study of the complex inner life of an attractive call girl, played by Jane Fonda.
For once, a genuinely psychological thriller.

Fonda's riveting performance is impossible to shake
[Fonda] makes all the right choices, from the mechanics of her walk and her voice inflection to the penetration of the girl's raging psyche. It is a rare performance.

Thanks to its complexities of character and morality, Klute creates a proposition for the audience in which there's no such thing as simple pleasure, even if we’re paying.

Fonda and Sutherland are at the top of their game in this mystery/thriller that also provides a fasinating look into the mind and soul of a top NYC callgirl.
Fonda won an Oscar. Roy Scheider is her nasty pimp!
Even today it remains difficult to over-praise the depth and reality Fonda brought to her character, or to overstate how completely she set the pace for actresses in the '70s.
