Dir. James Ivory · Starring Christopher Reeve, Vanessa Redgrave, Jessica Tandy, Madeleine Potter, Nancy Marchand, Wesley Addy · Music Richard Robbins

“An intimate and exquisite probe of the feminist heart.”

DramaRomance

A bored lawyer and a suffragette vie for the attention of a faith healer's charismatic daughter.

VIBE

A meticulously crafted period piece, it feels like a drawing-room drama unfolding with sharp wit and simmering, unspoken desires. The dialogue crackles with intellectual sparring and subtle emotional currents.
