I'm a sucker for feature length family arguments. Carnage, Before Midnight, Tape, Marriage Story, August Osage County. I'm not sure what that says about me, but this one is most definitely the granddaddy of this strange subgenre. Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton were the most famous couple in Hollywood (possibly the world) in 1966 and their passion was on full display here. This movie is spectacular. Mike Nichols directs a near-perfect script and creates one of the toughest to watch, timeless, heartbreaking, and shocking films of all time.
