“…. In the hard-driven, sitcomish Broadway production, these colorful disasters too often seemed willed and self-conscious. The difference here, under Bruce Beresford's direction, is the unalloyed pleasure of watching Spacek, Lange, and Keaton deveour these juicy parts with lip-smacking relish. Spacek, playing a woman who never says no to her instincts… is at the very peak of her form. Lange, lusciously blowsy, gives a sharp, wonderfully sexy comic performance. Keaton, taking daring chances, takes nervous tics to delcious, sneaky new highs. They're having a ball up there, and the spirit is downright infectious.”
