It was getting seriously embarrassing that the Crit Club has been around this long and still did not have a take on Cassavetes. Coire decided to right that wrong this week and picked John Cassaveses’ 1974 film A Woman Under the Influence, a true to life domestic story about mental illness, flailing attempts at emotional intelligence and traumatizing beach days. It led to a great and intense discussion, but we don’t want to give our thoughts away just yet. Come listen!

Other things we discussed:

Next week, it’s Peter’s pick and we’re staying in the ‘70s to explore Elaine May’s directorial debut. We’re watching her 1971 dark comedy, A New Leaf. We’d love for you to join us.
