Janet Maslin New York Times 01/15/2020
If it does nothing else, Richard's Things illustrates what dire trouble an actress can land in when she works with a director with no understanding of her talents. Go to Full Review David Denby New York Magazine/Vulture 01/15/2020
A patch of dreariness. Go to Full Review Kate Rushin Gay Community News (Boston) 09/22/2022
The tensions build and the film goes on and on for an hour and 45 minutes, as tantalizing, and unsatisfying, as the women’s affair. Go to Full Review Michael Lasky Bay Area Reporter 05/07/2020
Although there are expected flashes of intelligence, they are about as effective in bringing some substance to this well-acted dirge as a book of matches would be in illuminating the entire Opera House. Go to Full Review David Parkinson Radio Times 01/15/2020
2/5
With Liv Ullmann as star, director Anthony Harvey clearly felt compelled to direct her in a Bergmanian manner in this misfiring adaptation of Frederic Raphael's novel. Nobody is helped by the turgid screenplay. Go to Full Review People Staff People Magazine 01/15/2020
A lot of tension just leaks away The movie is never uninteresting, though. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
