Review of Carrie (1952) by Eli L — 16 Aug 2009
7.8.
An excellent film challenging so many timeless issues that face us all. Lawrence Oliver is wonderful in his role as is Jenny Jones. The screen play is superb. The film bravely ends leaving the audience left darkly. But the directing itself by the renown William Wyler is the greatest achievement of the film. One remarkable scene after another with mood changes, lighting changes and fascinating cinematography. For a slow moving drama this film is nothing short of gripping. Wyler won three Oscars for best director (Ben Hur, The Best Years of Our Lives,Mrs. Miniver) and was nominated nine other times (Wuthering Heights, Roman Holiday).
