Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaLynn Redgrave's Best Actress Oscar nomination for this movie coincided with sister Vanessa's similar nomination for "Morgan! (1966)." Such a coincidence had occurred only once before when sisters Joan Fontaine and Olivia de Havilland, respectively vied for the Best Actress Oscar for "Suspicion (1941)" and "Hold Back the Dawn (1941)." Fontaine was the only winner of the four actresses in this particular curiosity.
- GoofsIn the early scene at the piano where Georgy's father has brought her a dress to wear to a birthday party, she's wearing glasses when he starts to say, "Oh, please yourself," but not wearing them before he finishes the line.

Featured review
One of my personal cult movies
Reviews seem to miss the real theme of this film, which is about the voyage of self-discovery of a person who feels out of sync with her world and tries to define, or redefine, her own true self. This theme has a strange attraction for me -- I identify with Georgy's search, I think, because of my own feelings of misalignment with the world or alienation. Unfortunately, as a male, it seems that the principal characters in films addressing this theme with sensitivity are invariably women. Perhaps in our society men are expected not to have such uncertainties about themselves or to suppress them, so no films are made. Two other films I enjoyed because of their similar themes are "Muriel's Wedding" and "Thelma and Louise". If you like, you can tell me I'm reading far more into this film than was ever intended, reminiscent of Mark Twain's famous warning. But you won't convince me! Alan
