Review of Women in Love

I actually saw this film the first time when I was an usher at a movie theatre many years ago. I only saw pieces of it at a time and I thought this was really a piece of crap. Evidently, a lot of other people thought so also because there was never more than 10 people watching at any one time. I decided to rewatch now that i'm older and more sage-like in my movie experience. You only have to watch this film to see how dire the film industry was in back in 1970. Granted you had 5 films that were nominated for best picture, the rest of the years pictures just didn't amount to a hill of beans. Looking at this picture, the strongest elements didn't even get Oscar nominations: score, art direction or costume design. Instead, Ken Russell is nominated for his meandering direction, Larry Kramer is nominated for a story and screenplay that uses 135 min to tell a 35 min story and Glenda Jackson wins an Oscar for a performance in a role that Kristin Stewart could have walked thru with only an initial read. A poor waste of time.
