Suzanne E. @Stratfordflats Dec 8 Incredibly disturbing and powerful. See more Nicola E Jun 23 Probably the most disturbing and powerful film I’ve ever seen. I watched as a teenager and I still feel uneasy when I am reminded of it. Sally Field is exceptional. See more Georgan G 01/27/2024 Read the book when it came out and have seen this made-for-TV a couple of times. The abused child managed to save herself via extra personalities. See more Paul M 07/09/2023 I think this is probably the best movie I've seen sally field in. True story See more 12/03/2022 Even a bit scary. Wonderful expression of multiple personality disorder (and perhaps invented, it's not sure if this is based on a real story (since the real story isn't sure if it is real)). See more Kevin L @Lakeman 11/13/2022 Joanne Woodward had been a brilliant actress for decades, and she's great in Sybil. But this is Sally Field's movie, and it was her first real standout performance that showed us the potential for the stunning, remarkable work she would show in so many adult roles in her long, impressive career. Yes, it's a long film, but to cover someone with that many personalities and that godawful of an upbringing to cause a child and an adolescent to have to split into so many different people to maintain existence, it takes three or more hours to do it proper justice. That old hag who she thought of as her mother was either mentally ill herself, or just a sociopath. And her dimwitted father who had religion too far up his backside to see reality was little if any real help aside from his money. Horrific stuff, but a well made movie. 4 stars See more Read all reviews
