To my carnal knowledge this was one of Nicholson's best works in his illustrious career. A well thought out sexual drama and about its norms that isn't dull to watch at all.

Jules Feiffer's thought-provoking, observant, well written examination of the attitudes of two men towards women and sex proves ideal fodder for Nichols. He directs with a detached, clinical precision, often using dark colors to create a moody, unpleasant look. Ann-Margret is a sexy standout in the cast; her limited skills are put to good use. The film does not go down easily, and hardly warrants a repeat viewing. However, it has a lingering effect on the viewer.

Awesome cast: Particularly Nicholson and Margret. They command every frame in which they appear, even when apart. Nichols' direction is tight, and Feiffer's screenplay is utterly brilliant.

Nichols' direction is tight, and Feiffer's screenplay is utterly brilliant. The film is excellent, but much like its characters, it seems to struggle in finding itself through the third act.

What's worse than a miserable man who can never find happiness? Someone who is willing to give up anything to be just like him. Great plot, great actors.

Someone who is willing to give up anything to be just like him. Great plot, great actors. The movie is a bit boring at times, but definitely a must see. Even though this movie is almost 40 years old, I still know men who are just like Jonathan and Sandy.

Great character study about relationships and infidelity. Nicholson is great in it and Ann Margaret is especially impressive in this. Mike Nichols doesn't disappoint.

Cruel and humourless film that is as much Dick Sylbert's as Nichols'. It all looks commonplace great: furtive young love in a wood, sexless domesticated hell, notions of NYC at a glance.

It all looks commonplace great: furtive young love in a wood, sexless domesticated hell, notions of NYC at a glance. But writer Feiffer's ingrown adolescence betrays any real development in the Garfunkel and Nicholson characters (women here are only plot devices) and sadly the film has as much to say about male-female relationships as a locker-room pissing contest. Marginal.

Un genre de "graduate" qui s'encanaille suivi sur deux decennies
Trente ans avant "Closer" Mike Nichols essaie de dissequer la conjugalité face a la sexualite. Pas mal
