"... including a nonsensical opening shot of Parker's bare butt and breast."Mary-Louise got good grades for her body, but excoriated for a poor performance. Newsday wrote: "Parker has many fascinating qualities. Alas, period versatility is not one of them. Parker's familiar deadpan delivery and unknowable face are no match for Hedda, the eccentric and possibly deranged anti-heroine. Parker's contemporary attitude comes through more as bratty petulance than profound psychological upheaval and despair at the boundaries of late 19th century Norwegian womanhood. When the truth about her ex-lover is revealed, Parker's freaky hiss suggests instead that water has been dumped on the Wicked Witch of the West."
