 This is acting at it best, 2007-07-29
Its by no means an easy movie to watch. Its emotionally raw, amazingly gritty and at time just tasteless, but Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton show why they are stars in this movie.
Although on the surface this seems to be a movie about a self-distructive couples drug and alcohol endused night of terror with a second couple added for the mix, it ends up being so much more, it ends up be truely a love story. One that might be unconventional and one I hope no one must endore in real life, but at the end this is a beautiful display of how two people can love each other some much that it becomes hatred and distructive. To me its one of the greatest movies ever made. You will need a nap after, trust me its not a fluff movie, but it one everyone should have in their collection just for the sheer genius of Elizabeth Taylor. I hope you enjoy it and do not take this movie at its words but look deeper at what it is truely showing.
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, 2007-07-02
An often agonizing, hilariously warped study of marital dysfunction, "Woolf" was the brainchild of first-time director Mike Nichols (who went on to make "The Graduate") and Ernest Lehman, who adapted Edward Albee's scabrous play. Nasty, vicious, and drenched in venomous wit, this is the ultimate Taylor-Burton collaboration, with plenty of ugly, soul-baring accusations to go around. Segal and Oscar winner Dennis make perfect counterpoints as the naïve young couple sucked into a nightmarish evening of "fun and games."

 What's all the fuss about?..., 2007-06-23
I don't understand why so many people enjoyed this film, or why Academy Awards were won. Taylor looked like she was acting all the way through this.
This movie has some really boring parts in it, and the 2-hour, 10 minute duration feels more like a year.
It's basically about a couple of self-destructive drunks (and they seem mentally ill too) who bring a young couple into their line of fire and air all their dirty laundry. The young couple learn a lot from these two, though I don't know what it is, because I couldn't even learn anything from it. I didn't understand whether they'd really had a son or not, and couldn't see a plot anywhere in this story.
I'll give it this much: There were some exciting scenes and good performances, but I wish I could've made sense out of it. This film is not something I would want to see again anytime soon.

 Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, 2007-05-09
The story was very harrowing and I found it quite difficult to sit through but the acting was absolutely brilliant and it was worth watching just for that. Not a movie I would watch more than once.
