Ruth Lyons: First Lady of Television Audience Reviews

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
