namdc Review of The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds

The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds (1972)

Brilliant, Disturbing, Inspiring

[10/10 · 7 February 2001]

Joanne Woodward gives the performance of a lifetime in this gritty, realistic film. The subtle way it presents both child and elderly abuse ( I don't see other reviewers mentioning the grandmother ) is more than memorable - it is totally realistic.
