“One of my fellow critics came out of a screening of A WOMAN UNDER THE INFLUENCE and said she was so affected, she didn’t know whether to cry or throw up.”
—Roger Ebert
“One of the rawest, toughest, most emotionally scalding portraits of a marriage ever put on screen.”
—The Telegraph
“An exceptional film anchored by love and set alight with the unpredictability of mental health, this is a must for Cassavetes fans and newcomers alike.”
—CineVue
Gena Rowlands electrifies as a housewife unraveling under the weight of love and expectation in John Cassavetes’ raw, shattering portrait of madness, devotion, and the impossible standards of domestic life. In 35mm.
