"Curtain up": A successful backstage story. If Cassavetes chose the "failure" melodrama for the final, this movie probably sucks (let alone Black Swan and Perfect Blue with that cliche) . He chose the right thing and said that "the show must go on through all circumstances." Peter Bogdanovich made a cameo in the final (also Peter Falk). At the end, "Superman" did his best.

Sometimes I think about this pseudo-genre, in which women go crazy from not being desirable enough and get kind of annoyed. As if there couldn’t possibly be anything more to female madness than anxiety over not being attractive. Still, I think this film is just as much about the pull of a supermassive personality. What happens when a woman so charismatic grows so powerful that even she fails to escape her gravity?

I haven't seen better acting in my life. Actually, that's wrong, because I can't see it! The documentary values and the dialogs are just amazing. Can't wait to see more of Cassavetes!

Very close to 5 stars. One of Cassavetes' more stylized films. I love all of the shots that make you feel like you're in the crowd, it really captured the magic and spontaneity of theatre. Gena Rowlands gives a powerhouse performance as well, descending into total madness. A great film.

I didn't know that this film was so closely related to the All About My Mother and All About Eve, maybe even Black Swan. The second act almost lost me but Gena Rowlands kept me watching, I forgot she was an actor.

Posiblemente la obra mas profundamente compleja a la que el dúo Cassavetes/Rowlands haya conseguido, donde la psicología del personaje ya no solo se manifiesta a traves de sus acciones, sino que ahora ésta se construye a traves de un imaginario delirante, la lucha extrema de una mujer contra sus propios fantasmas que la rodean incesentamente. No hay duda: estamos ante la mas "bergmaniana" de las obras de Cassavetes.

Gena Rowlands padrona della scena. a volte esagerata ma sempre una grandissima attrice. Cassavetes la dirige con amore e rispetto.

Definitely an incredible performance by Gena Rowlands as Myrtle. The hype is real. People who love acting, theatre, plays, natural dialogue, spontaneous improvising should enjoy this movie. It is because of this movie I realized why a woman never reveals her age. Fuckin old ass wrinkly hot-flash-havin great great great grandmas!

In Cassavetes brilliant film, Gena Rowlands plays a distressed actress who must be in a role that closely resembles her current life: facing aging, dealing with decaying beauty, and the memories of her more glorious youth. All triggered by the death of a fan outside a theater in New Heaven. Almodovar created the same scene in his postmodern "All About My Mother".

Makes for an excellent double feature along with Fassbinder's "Veronika Voss."

Fascinating. Where is the line? It is a good thing to integrate life into a piece of "canned, repeatable art", isn't it? Some artists just cannot be stopped; they work on their own plane, and create something so precious it cannot be repeated.

Yeah I guess the film really underscores the importance of understudies!

Why didn't the director just fire Myrtle?
