A dedicated schoolteacher spends her nights cruising bars, looking for
abusive men with whom she can engage in progressively violent sexual
encounters.
Well-made
movie with a male chauvinist message about promiscuous women, but worth
the watch for Diane Keaton's outstanding performance.
Halliwell (no star): "Exploitative and very boring sex melodrama which doesn't even make one believe in its central character."
Maltin*1/2:
"Sordid rewrite (by director Brooks) of Judith Rossner's novel begins
as intelligent study of repressed young girl, then wallows endlessly in
her new "liberated" lifestyle. Keaton's performance outclasses this
pointless movie."
