Review of Opening Night (1977)

By Eberhardt V (3) on 30 May 2011

A dazzling Gina Rowlands, this fiercely personal Cassavetes comes from an era when American cinema was directed to a thinking audience. What a treat…

Review of Opening Night (1977)

By Dave M (1,479) on 27 Mar 2011

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

Review of Opening Night (1977)

By Michael G (2,333) on 12 Feb 2011

All About Eve meets The Black Swan. Very good. 4 stars…

Review of Opening Night (1977)

By John H (1,894) on 18 Aug 2010

A character driven movie! Highly Recommended…

Review of Opening Night (1977)

By Ben W (988) on 04 Apr 2010

The opening acts of this film seem to restate themselves…

Review of Opening Night (1977)

By Hamad S (119) on 30 Mar 2010

Gena Rowlands' fantastic performance was the only good thing about this production. Everything else was just plain annoying…

Review of Opening Night (1977)

By Christopher T (409) on 26 Mar 2010

Had to revisit this tonight. One of five films that Cassavetes financed himself. So personal, and completely conscious…

Review of Opening Night (1977)

By Ashley H (2,345) on 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…

Review of Opening Night (1977)

By Marko S (143) on 12 Dec 2009

Probably the least problematic cassavetes' movie. well acted, and about acting and actors, even its slowness doesn't hurt that much…

Review of Opening Night (1977)

By Mereie D (73) on 10 Dec 2009

I had the luck to watch this years ago on the silver screen,during a retrospective of Cassavetes work…

Review of Opening Night (1977)

By Sandrine S (3) on 05 Dec 2009

A superb example of using the play within a play to heighten the reality of the outer frame…

Review of Opening Night (1977)

By J K (1,547) on 09 Sep 2009

Opening Night will be a tough film for some to sit through…

Review of Opening Night (1977)

By Art S (1,002) on 07 Sep 2009

Psychodrama action! Gena Rowlands is all over the place…

Review of Opening Night (1977)

By Matthew A (1,056) on 19 Jul 2009

I found out that the last scene is in fact improvised and its worth the entire movie. excruciating. ben gazzara is some kind of sleazy god…

Review of Opening Night (1977)

By Private U (13,627) on 05 Jul 2009

Wow that was intensely depressing and a little strange…

Review of Opening Night (1977)

By Daniel S (2,332) on 05 Jul 2009

Cassavetes is probably the coolest filmmaker of all time…

Review of Opening Night (1977)

By Richard H (920) on 06 Apr 2009

Unlike some of John Cassavetes's other films, I was captivated by this film…

Review of Opening Night (1977)

By Tim S (2,419) on 03 Apr 2009

Cassavetes' alarmingly volatile reflexivity…

Review of Opening Night (1977)

By Scott T (380) on 10 Mar 2009

Of the five films in the Criterion box set, this is the only one that leaves me feeling ambivalent…

Review of Opening Night (1977)

By Irvin C (321) on 08 Mar 2009

This is probably one of if not the best films about the theater…
