Review of Opening Night (1977) by Ashley H — 08 Jan 2010

So this is basically three movies in one, but all the parts work so well because the entire thing is anchored by another stellar performance by Gena Rowlands. The best part for me, though, has to be her and Cassavetes lighting up the screen in the final 15-20 mins.

If I were an acting teacher, I would show all my students that final scene, and say, "That's what you're supposed to do.".
