“I really enjoyed the movie, but one thing I noticed and appreciated was the long shots. Modern movies usually are changing angles and context every few seconds; while like a play, this movie will hold a shot for minutes at a time. I think it shows the strength of the actors, while most contemporary movies can mask poor acting with editing. This is especially true towards the end of the movie, in the scene where Don and Jill confront each otheru0026#39;s feelings. I was amazed at how Goldie was able to hold the emotion of the scene and keep me drawn in for such an extended period. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIu0026#39;ve never been a big Goldie fan, but I had never seen this movie until recently. I have to say this movie changes my opinion and makes we wonder what other films of hers from this period are like.”
