When one has to use Valley of the Dolls for comparison, well, you can rest assured that The Other Side of Midnight is not about to become a classic motion picture. Go to Full Review Ruth Batchelor Los Angeles Free Press 10/23/2019
The good news is that the screenwriters have stayed very close to the book and the bad news is that the filmmakers have cast the leads so poorly we don't give a damn. Go to Full Review Fernando Trueba El Pais (Spain) 07/30/2019

Rudy T Oct 30 Well, I’m not a critic, but I loved the movie. It was a bit long, but it all came together. It was a very classic, romantic thriller See more Frank C Jul 29 This movie received a 25% expert review and 73% audience review. I checked the ratings after I viewed it. I thought I had seen it before, and as I usually do, I do not read the plot summary on the DVD. Good move, as it was full of interesting twists and turns. I thought Ms. Pisier was excellent. See more Steve D 08/11/2023 I side with the critics with this trash. See more John M 03/06/2023 When Vincent Canby reviewed this film in the NYTimes he called it a "schlock masterpiece", and I agree. This is an entertaining hoot. Just go with it and see if you don't agree. As an aside, it has a beautiful score that gives serious heft to the enjoyment of this film. See more 08/03/2014 Lurid twaddle at least has beautiful location shooting and good work from Susan Sarandon to recommend it. See more 03/01/2014 Something to while away time.
