Rating: - Rachel, Rachel-- Where are you?
It has been a very long overdue to release this remarkable movie in DVD. A great film and very moving performance by Joanne Woodward (among her best performances along with her work in Sybil).
Rating: - Very Touching
This is a very touching movie. The performances are very good. Paul Newman as a director is a natural. Great to see James Olson in any movie.
Rating: - Like a bud opening after a violent storm
Paul Newman debuted as a director with this movie and it shows. Everything is done so carefully and meticulously that there is hardly any room for anyone to breathe. But at the same time there are some things that work very well - especially the flashbacks, some only a few seconds in lengh.

She has what resembles friendship with 2 characters, an evangelical church going friend and a visiting high school teacher from the city, who meets her at a social gathering and he courts ...

Rating: - Rachel, Rachel, A Triumph!
It was so important to Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman that they make "a little film that meant something", that they didn't even take a salary from Warner Brothers. Also, they invested much of their own money to get its deep message across.
This incredible film from 1968 continues to stand the test of time. Woodward received a Best Actress Oscar nomination for her sensitive portrayal of Rachel Cameron, a 35-year-old New England spinster who lives with her domineering, possessive mother. Rachel's world is very limited, due in part to her mother's constant nagging and neediness, and Rachel's ... Read More
