Screenplays 2
Harold Pinter's script gets hold of our attention
by purposely juggling with a time device he employed to great
effect in Betrayal.
Schatzberg tells his story honestly and earnestly.
Nothing should detract from the high-mindedness of his purpose
to breathe a little reality into a Hollywood where the comic-strip
view of the world currently reigns supreme.
Iain Johnstone, The
Sunday Times, July 8th 1990
