Yeesh. Content warning: physical abuse, emotional abuse, child endangerment
A housewife (Gena Rowlands) slowly goes mad from neglect and boredom while her idiot husband (Peter Falk) flails ineffectually.
Shocking no one, I hated this movie. It's long, boring, and interspersed with domestic violence that has aged like milk. Somehow, it's considered a classic.
Rowlands is very good but it almost feels like a wasted performance because I will never watch this movie again. As always, your mileage may vary. It's available on the Criterion Channel.
