This is a movie for grownups, and not just for the subject matter or the "R" rating. In the mess of today's super heroes sequels upon sequels and brainless rom-coms, the intelligence and maturity of all concerned is a revelation, even fifty (fifty!) years after its release. It's not a perfect movie; some of the dialogue is hard to understand and the motivation of the villain (especially at the end) is pretty murky. In that sense it kinda reminded me of a 007 movie where the bad guy explains everything to James Bond for no apparent reason, but here we need the exposition to finally figure out just what happened. A VERY well deserved Oscar for Jane Fonda - her performance unveils layer upon layer of a very complex character. And fifty years later, is it really possible that Donald Sutherland has never even been nominated for an Oscar, much less won one? A terrific movie!
