Betrayel of the Dove is a confusing, if not dizzying movie of a young divorced mother who is betrayed by her ex-husband,new lover, and best friend. As the three of them plot to kill her, the story becomes more of a montage of confusion and delirium rather than a fluid movie telling a story. Filled with flashbacks and confusion, I certainly can not recommend it-even to my worst enemy.

Helen does a wonderful job showing her vulnerable side, and Kelly & Billy just make you love to hate them ... rent it...then come back and buy this movie !

For any one who is a fan of Helen Slater, for ten bucks, this movie should be in their collection. One definitely gets lots of the Slater magic. Additionally, there are quite a few other "second tier" stars that make it fun.
However, be warned. The VHS tape is recorded at SLP (slowest speed), so the visual quality is awful. The story and direction are very poor as well, and the sound direction is horrendous. The switches between ADR, Foley, and live sound are jarring at times, and the overall audio mix is almost upsetting. But, I'm still glad to have it just for Helen.

I remeber watching this movie about 7 years ago, and I really didn't like it at all! I wanted to watch it first off because Helen Slater is one of my favorite actresses of all, and I thought she did a wonderful job with her performance! But the whole movie itself is too psychological and depressing that after seeing it 2 or 3 times, you really don't want to see it again! My compliments to Helen though for doing her best with this movie! She's as beautiful as she is talented!
