Review of Testament (1983) by K. Austin Collins for Vanity Fair — 15 Nov 1992
The charge that this film has the humble patina of a “TV movie”—an insult levied by critics and others at the time—is in fact perfectly apt. It explains the smallness of this production; it isn’t a stretch to say that the lack of crash-bang disaster theatrics might have something to do with the film’s budget.
As it happens, Testament is all the better for this smallness. And, for me, all the more devastating.
