Jana Monji Age of the Geek 23h
3/5
This is a more traditional version of Henrik Ibsen's 1891 play than the 2025 film, and Diana Rigg's Hedda is a determined woman who could have well been a general if she had been born a woman. Go to Full Review Brian Holcomb PopMatters 05/02/2008
8/10
Diana Rigg plays the title role without remorse. Her Hedda suffers no fools and appears ready to strike like a coiled snake. Go to Full Review Phil Hall Film Threat 09/06/2007

09/06/2010 A boring, stuffy, high brow kind of movie without any big stars based on an old play. I didn't care for this movie, it's just too boring. See more 05/12/2010 A filmed play if ever there was one this suffers from its stagebound origins even the outdoor scenes are obviously sets. Its heavy and sorrowful with a frankly despicable heroine but on the plus side the great Diana Rigg plays her well. See more Read all reviews
