The extreme likelihood of terrible dialogue, hammy acting and the worst writing since season six of The L Word are no obstacle. Hey, if there's some talk about feelings involved – we're in."

The feminist adaptation of the film breathes new air into the 1970s classic: “[King] has all kinds of understanding about women. When I read King again it was like, wow, it was the ’70s.
