This film feels like a true reflection of its time, from the family dynamics to the language used throughout. Gena Rowlands delivers a phenomenal performance, portraying a woman trapped by her husband's control in such a believable way. At the same time, her husband is also trapped by the societal expectations placed on him as the man of the household. While this doesn't excuse the way he treated his family which resulted in the situation he put them into, it offers insight into the social norms that shaped both men and women at the time. Even today, I still see traces of these societal stereotypes, especially among the older generations.
