  Crimes of Passion 1984

  ★★★★ Watched by voggggg 03 Jul 2022

  Spends too much time on Bobby, the least interesting character, short-changing Perkins and leaving Potts in a thankless role. The script is simultaneously funny/smart and hampered by cliches that were dated even in ‘84. Some scenes go on too long. But ultimately it all rests on an absolutely incredible performance by Turner—uninhibited, expressionist, dense and nimble. She delivers without hesitation on material that very few known actors would have the guts to do. Not much I can compare it to.

  The kids these days with their social networks and their raucous folk music and their maypoles and their sex party in the grass.
