Alec B Well acted to be sure and it does have that constant feeling of being totally honest. If anything keeps it from being great, its the almost repressive feeling of self importance in several scenes. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/24 Full Review Audience Member Glenda Jackson, and Peter Finch love the artist who is moving to New York. This threesome would not happen in 2023 when getting half of someone is not acceptable. That Jackson and Finch are willing to share Murray Head is because 1971 people didn't know how to get the full ball of wax. This is 50 years later when relationships are more demanding and very well defined. If a man wants both a woman and a man, It is very dangerous to both partners who may get diseases from one or the other. It just is not safe to have more than one partner. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review dave s Alex (Glenda Jackson) is a recently divorced woman coming to terms with job dissatisfaction and a traumatic childhood. Daniel (Peter Finch) is a Jewish doctor trying to hide his homosexuality from his community. In an effort to sooth their troubled lives, both manage to find solace in the arms of Bob (Murray Head), a free-spirited artist and a product of the ‘60s. John Schlesinger's Sunday Bloody Sunday is an interesting study of characters in crisis, buoyed by powerhouse performances from both Jackson and Finch. Admittedly, there isn't much in the way of a storyline and some of Schlesinger's directorial choices are odd (there are too many close-ups of irrelevant things – a key being inserted into a lock, for example), but it remains an intriguing period piece dealing with controversial relationships that were pretty much verboten at the time.

Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review andres s Really great use of editing techniques and camera work. I love the attention to detail and cinematography. There's definitely a political and socio-economic awareness going on in this movie. Kids are smoking pot and it's ok because their parent are progressive? Uhh wtf? Lol. Beautifully chaotic and comfortable with how dirty things can be. It's got that gritty 70's feel to it that I like. Holy shit that beautifully pleasant scene at the park takes a terrible turn when the little blonde girl decides to run across the street all of a sudden, unfortunately killing the dog. That was so unexpected and pretty shocking. Hypnotic and psychedelic at times. It ended up being a pretty damn good decent movie. I was much more taken by it than the previous movie I watch today - ‘Throw Down'. The movie has an incredible real take and awareness on the things happening during that time. Everything seems very relevant and modern. I love the way they showcase everyday living for it's characters and the way their lives intertwine with one another. Polyamorous relationships are not for the faint of heart and I love the way they tackled this subject matter with such sensitivity. The movie went by fairly quick without even noticing and I found it thoroughly entertaining. I was pleasantly surprised at how interesting all the characters and their story lines were. John Schlesinger has a keen and creative eye when it comes to cinematography and shots. He has this almost childlike wonder and curiosity when filming things. I'd actually watch this movie again.
