Review of Shirley Valentine (1989) by Aubry D'arminio for Entertainment Weekly — 15 Dec 2013
Talented actors stumbling through clichéd plot twists (Shirley’s nemeses actually envy her), flat one-liners (”Marriage is like the Middle East — there’s no solution”), and pithy self-affirmations (”I’ve fallen in love with the idea of living”) that undermine any genuine feminist sentiments.
