fatimaMay 12, 2020I had to rewind it to check if Elizabeth Taylor actually called him a Simp. She really did.

I thought this was just about a married couple arguing. No one prepared me for how completely deranged every character and performance is! Not a complaint but this movie is exhausting. How is the stage version three hours long?! Two hours with these people is all I can…

that’s hot
Vogue Italia lovedWho's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?4/23/26: I just saw an original 35 mm print at the library of congress 😭😭😭 this movie has such fantastic minutiae in acting, camera work, and cinematography to tell a story that sinks deep in your skin. It feels too modern to be from the 60s, i cannot believe more haven’t seen this movie. read…
RitOlive is "meh" onWho's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?I didn’t know what to expect, but it certainly wasn’t a night-long argument between 4 very drunk people that keeps escalating and de-escalating non-stop. So much yelling. I fell asleep at some point, missed the middle of it, and was on my phone for the rest of it to stay awake.
- CvptvinHowdy is "meh" onWho's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
The subject matter in this drama is one I don't like sitting through, at least for the majority of the film, but the final act did grip me, but also not enough to say I liked the film. The performances are great between the four, and there's no doubt about that.
Julie Dolinsky lovedWho's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Two of the most iconic talents of all time. A must watch. The chemistry and talent these two have is unparalleled to most. A high school classroom movie based on a book you’ll actually like.
MovieDaddy likedWho's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?Powerhouse performances help anchor what some may see as an overly heavy handed melodrama. Very Cassavettes-ish in presentation, which can turn some people off. Mandatory viewing for cinema history buffs.

I would not have wanted to be on set during this picture…It is a shame to watch the turmoil between two people, acting as both characters and embodiments of a real marriage.
Vision lovedWho's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?10/10, top 3 movies of all time istg. Everything about this movie is perfect, the character writing, the dialogue, the cinematography, and the acting. Just an amazing movie
DarkStarSpace likedWho's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?Incredibly well made and acted. Good dialogue too. I just don’t really like it? The thinnest hair above “meh”. Wasn’t looking to watch a 2hr argument the movie I guess?

Metacritic
Mike Nichols had the Burtons for his first film (1966), but he felt compelled to drag in so many jazzy camera tricks that Richard and Elizabeth seem largely superfluous for the first couple of reels. When Nichols finally settles down, it's almost too late.
Dave Kehr
Chicago Reader
A time capsule now of all that was considered controversial and gutsy in 1966.
