Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

One of my fetish movies! it is to be seen at least twice before you even begin to understand the message which this theater piece conveys about the profoundness relationships. But Liz Taylor and her real life's companion for many years Richard Burton deliver the most stunning interpretation of the original characters Martha and George. The fact that the two actors did have a certain history together in their real lives, certainly contributed for a greater part to the creation of this masterpiece. I would certainly watch it again and again and keep remembering all the cult quotes. "Martha and Georgie... Sad, sad, sad!...."

Really strange movie quite out of the ordinary. You do not understand anything until the end. Great !

Five minutes in I hate this movie. Are there married people that actually treat each other like crap all the time like these two do?

The acting was good but the movie never really grabbed me.

My bias here is generally against mid-century theater and especially filmed adaptations of theater--it's rare to find something that can transcend the intrinsic artificiality and staginess of the production, and this one's no different. But beyond that, I find no enjoyment in this very, very long depiction of unrelenting misery. It's all turned up to an 11 from the very start and never lets up, which I think is a mistake for reasons related to tone, character, and pacing. It's all too much for me, even allowing for the overacting you'd expect for this type of movie at this time. None of the characters' behavior is justified beyond the need to keep the production going, and boy does it go and go. I will say the bright spot of the movie for me was Sandy Dennis and her amazing facial expressions--and the moment she started chanting "violence!" was hysterical. Good for her getting that Oscar.

This movie will forever be one of my favorites! The acting in this film between all major four actors is exactly what every actor should strive for! The storyline was very planned-out as it was smoothed transition to all scenes. Kept me glued to the film, I was rooting for everyone in their own way. Had a bit of a Twilight Zone feel to it with a very relatable environment of long-term couples arguing.

It's a difficult film. Two toxic people fighting for more than 2 hours.
From a technical standpoint, it's amazingly directed, considering it's a debut.

Unquestionably the absolutely the worst movie I have ever seen.
