Supelice Dreadfully Boring
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
charliebeaglewoof This is still a must see movie for Bette Davis completists but for anyone wanting a well paced, well acted film, go back 12 years to All About Eve. The much talked of feud between Bette and Joan Crawford is easily imagined in this bitter film of sisters turned enemies. Scenes between the two are often electric but the whole film is poorly directed. So much could have been trimmed to make a faster, scarier flick. Instead we get hammy extras and excessive exposition where none really is needed. It's kinda like the movie makers were worried that the audience wouldn't get it. The result is a classic, but a rusty one. Buyer beware.
maddiethatsme BUT YA ARE BLANCHE YA ARE IN THAT CHAIR!!! Wow, just wow is what this film is. Normally horror flicks from the 60's are the cheesiest films you'll ever see, but this is beyond different. This film is extraordinary and works on so many different levels. Bette Davis gives an amazing performance as Jane Hudson, and Joan Crawford gives an amazing performance as well playing Blanche. The music is thrilling and fits so well with the film and it's perfect, especially the musical number Bette Davis does, it is one of the most creepiest scenes you'll ever watch. One of the best, and one of the most disturbing stories ever told in a film period. The jealously, the rivalry between the two sisters is haunting, and sometimes you have to feel sorry for both of them. Especially Blanche. The ending is also very surprising and it just might make you cry (if your a joan crawford and bette davis fan) This film is a must see for any Old Hollywood fans or just to see two great performances. This movie is a ultimate classic.
Stevieboy666 Terrifying, gothic classic tale about two sisters, both faded stars, living together in a relationship of hatred, jealousy, mistrust, madness and alcoholism. Everybody knows of the real life feud between lead stars Bette Davis & Joan Crawford, this works perfectly for the movie. When Davis shouts or lashes out at the helpless Crawford it looks to be for real. And what a stunning performance by Davis as the crazed sister - madness has rarely looked this terrifying on screen. Extremely well made, it could easily pass as the work of the master himself, Hitchcock. Only Victor Buono's questionable English accent is a slight weakness.
G G Gwalles I'm so engrossed in the Ryan Murphy's series "Feud" that watching again "What Ever Happened To Baby Jane" was unavoidable. "Feud" works on so many levels and the performances are so spot on that I suspect What Ever Happened To Baby Jane will have another life and in this new reincarnation it will teach us something important about Hollywood, about acting, about fame and about the fragility of the human mind. All this in great part due to "Feud" Jessica Lange's performance as Joan Crawford is already, for me, in a pantheon of its own. There is not a moment in which the illusion falters and this is more true episode after episode. Susan Sarandon as Bette Davis is also superb but her character is the more educated, stronger. A Yankee. So she provokes a very different kind of emotion. To all fans of the actresses and of Baby Jane you can't afford to miss "Feud" and, please, give it a couple of episodes to adjust but once you get to the third episode "Mommie Dearest" you'll be hooked in the greatest possible way. Enjoy.
