A deceived widow (Liv Ullmann) discovers, befriends and is seduced by her husband's mistress (Amanda Redman).

Janet Maslin

New York Times

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.

A patch of dreariness.

Gay Community News (Boston)

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.

Bay Area Reporter

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.

David Parkinson

Radio Times

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.

Rated: 2/5
