Like other fans of the original, I put off seeing this for years, but finally gave it a chance. Some die-hard groupies won't like any remake--and that's a shame, because this should be rated on its own merits. By not trying to duplicate the over-the-top style of Davis and Crawford, the Redgrave sisters make the characters their own and turn in fine performances-especially Lynn. It isn't easy to bring realism to a character like Jane, and she's convincing: petulant, childlike, sliding gradually further into madness.
It's worth a watch.
