Critical response



Review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes gives the film an approval rating of 100% based on reviews from 6 critics. At the time of its release, Vincent Canby of 'The New York Times' concluded his review with "[the film] is so understated that at times it seems diffident, as if it were too shy to display its fury in more robust terms. This, however, is the style of the film that Mr. Woodberry, Mr. Burnett and their splendid cast, headed by Mr. Hardman and Miss Moore, have chosen to make, and it works beautifully."
