All About Eve

Daniel Roque

All about twists. When acting and script comes close to perfection, every single character is essential for the story to work - no wonder why almost every actor were nominated for their roles. The behind the scenes was worthy of a movie itself.

Merciless wit; strong, complex women; acid dialogue; brutal truths... Saw this in a series called Fassbinder's Favourites, and the influence is obvious. Had Hollywood made more like this, I wouldn't need to be such a film snob ;) Davis at her best. A great movie.

Nothing short of a goddamned masterpiece. Wonderfully acted and astonishingly written. The charmingly caustic dialogue alone is worth the watch. Despite the amazing performances by all involved, Bette Davis stole the show. For all of Marilyn Monroe's 2 minutes of screen time she was delicious -- almost as satisfying as that highly anticipated moment where justice is finally served. A chick flick with balls.

Dave

Makiewicz pens one of the finest screenplays to ever come out of Hollywood and the ensemble performances elevate the material to an even higher level. A film that more than lives up to its reputation.

Pierluigi Puccini

Flawlessly executed drama, fabulous screenplay and acting. a picture formed by pure cynicism and tons of charm. Bette Davis and Anne Baxter are the theater's ultimate bitches. nice cameo by the beautiful Marilyn Monroe.

Zachary T.

Aptly described by Hal Erickson as "an elegantly bitchy backstage story." The razor-sharp screenplay by Mankiewicz juggles diabolical dialogue of Wildean proportions. A classic.

William Low

Superb classics about obsessions and deception in the theater life. Superb characters development. And superb acting. Masterpiece!

SALESK

Some of the best filmed dialogue ever. Bette Davis hoists this movie on her shoulders and proceeds to do standing push-ups for 2+ hours. She is a BEAST.
