“…. By far the best performance of the three comes from Sissy Spacek as Babe. Admittedly it's the best part: not the longest but the one of widest range, with subtler transitions and with more zooming-plummeting emotions, but Spacek makes the most of every chance…. Diane Keaton, as Lenny, works energetically, but she seems to be pounding at the outside of the woman, trying to get in, thump after thump.”
