It was once suggested by Pauline Kael, never a fan, that Cassavetes thought not like a director, but like an actor…

John Cassavetes & Gena Rowlands as the actors are pure perfection. John Cassavetes as the director is just as perfect…

By Chiara M (46) on 30 Sep 2008

The way Cassevetes tells this story is undeniably genius. May be the best example of a story within a story in all of cinema…

There's not really a beginning or an end to this, just a glimpse of a woman falling apart and into alcoholism…

Review of Opening Night (1933)

By Christina M (276) on 16 Dec 2008

Like every Cassavetes film it's extremely well acted. I didn't find the characters as compelling as his other films…

Review of Opening Night (1933)

By Rob S (980) on 16 Feb 2013

Not as epic as Woman Under the Influence, which is funny because in this one Gena Rowlands actually IS under the influence…

Review of Opening Night (1933)

By Kevin T (763) on 06 Mar 2009

A god damn wonderful film about getting old and how age is not a factor. Touching and dark with stellar performances all around. Love Cassavetes…

Incredible, similar to Black Swan, but goes WAY deeper…
