Steve D Good cast, only ok story Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/03/24 Full Review Audience Member Cacoyannis follows the same patterns as he did with Electra (1962) and The Trojan Women might not be as good as the previously mentioned film but the performances by Kathrine Hepburn and Vanessa Redgrave are still something you need to see. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Basically a televised play wrought with melodramatic acting. Unfortunately, quite boring. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/20 Full Review Audience Member The Trojan Women earns a sympathetic but low 3 star rating from me. This is the type of film I want to come off. This is the same director that did Iphigenia and Antigone and both came off very well as tragedies. Unfortunately, with Trojan Women the acting is very mixed. At times it is very good, but it is also often overwrought. I have to put this down to the directing and I suspect there may have been communication issues since Irene Papas comes off solid as Helen. Also, the sound is often very poor with the windy, open outdoor location and that may have caused the actresses to frequently shout their lines. Still, as a lover of Greek myth and drama, I find Trojan Women passable and admire the efforts made. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member I saw The Trojan Woman on a disc from Netflix last night (October 24, 2014.) I don't think I would know how to watch it in 1971. But, my recent interest in Greek mythology eggs me on; and I'm glad I watched this well-made, cerebral movie. It can be mentally painful at times because it reminds us how pride, power and lust could lead to ineffable suffering. I was glad I did not push the stop button till the end. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm Watching this excellent work of Euripides shows us the senselessness of war Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
