Opening Night

Opening Night (Criterion Collection)
2 stars
I found it impossible to care about Gena Rowland's character. The "issues" she faces as the stage factor she plays in "Opening Night" are egotistic and highfalutin. So you can't find the character you're trying to play, huh? Why don't you just quit the role? She bored me with her fish-like flopping around and incessant drinking. This circular saga didn't resonate with me. The film's length - 144 minutes! - certainly doesn't help.
