4.0 out of 5 stars Woman Wanted, December 19, 2002

This review is from: Woman Wanted [VHS] (VHS Tape)
All together this movie was not too bad. Kiefer Sutherland did a wonderful job directing. And as I am not a huge Holly Hunter fan I do believe that she gave a wonderful performance in this movie along with the other actors. Kiefer Sutherland proves that he can handle being an actor and director, he had the chops for both, and good for him.

5.0 out of 5 stars Woman Wanted Offers Showcase for Fine Acting, August 4, 2002
By 
Linda K. Brengle (New Albany, Indiana United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Woman Wanted [VHS] (VHS Tape)
With its focus on three compelling characters---an emotionally-repressed college professor; his troubled, rebellious son; and the warm, understanding housekeeper who comes into their lives---Woman Wanted offers a perfect showcase for three gifted actors. Michael Moriarty gives a characteristically intelligent and sensitive performance as a man who struggles to communicate with the people he loves. Keifer Sutherland is always believable as his mercurial son. And Holly Hunter is charming as a young woman hoping to start a new life for herself. The actors are helped by on-the-mark direction and a literate script which blends both drama and quirky humor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Woman Wanted, March 26, 2002
This review is from: Woman Wanted [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I LOVED this movie. Michael Moriarty is so believable portraying a tidy, gentile, soft-spoken professor with tender feelings. It was lovely to watch his appreciation develop for this new lady in his house. To watch the father and son responding to this warm housekeeper is so captivating. She blessed both father and son, and herself too. We watched this movie twice in one week and plan on viewing it again. The emotions of the three characters are so real. We agreed that the "R" rating is appropriate for the language, but none of the scenes offended us in any way. The subtle humor of some of the scenes was a delight too. To the Michael Moriarty fans reading this review, this movie is a must-see!
