The one spot of life was James Mason's performance as a lecherous philistine of surpassing nastiness.

Rating: B --
It's a marvelously written piece of junk that no matter how brilliantly penned never rises above its shallow soap opera roots.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Rating: 4/5 --
There's beautifully modulated direction from Jack Clayton and scriptwriter Harold Pinter's acidulent signature is all over it -- not to mention the influence of Michelangelo Antonioni.

Rating: 4/5 --
This is a fine film, encompassing the joys and tragedies of life: birth and death, marriage and divorce, love and hate. The leads give their characters life.

TV Guide
The setting of 1960s London now jars, and the flashbacks, much less effectively used than in Pinter's similarly themed Betrayal, at least initially, seem needlessly confusing.

Anne Bancroft is exceptionally good... The role may sound conventional enough, but not as played by Bancroft; she adds a depth and understanding which puts it on a higher plane.

Variety
It's like a two-hour thunderstorm, with plenty of lightning but for some curious reason barely a drop of rain: that's to say no drop of mercy, no chance of organic growth, no final enlightenment.
