The Great Lillian Hall

As a fan of "American Horror Story," particularly the early seasons, the prospect of seeing Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates, and Lily Rabe reunited in a new film had me instantly hooked. "The Great Lillian Hall" is a remarkable production that explores the complexities of dementia with finesse. Comparisons to Anthony Hopkins' portrayal in "The Father" are inevitable. Both actors deliver outstanding performances in their respective films, but "The Father" stands out for its ability to immerse the viewer in the bewildering and fragmented world of the person suffering from dementia, offering a tighter and more gripping narrative.

In "The Great Lillian Hall," Jessica Lange's mesmerizing portrayal is the film's crown jewel, showcasing her unparalleled acting prowess. Her performance alone makes the movie a must-watch, providing a poignant and powerful exploration of dementia that is both heart-wrenching and captivating. If you're a fan of brilliant acting and emotionally charged storytelling, "The Great Lillian Hall" is not to be missed.

What a ravishing film. Superb, moving, deep performances by all. A fabulous screen play that captures a life in the theater like its rarely seen. This is probably the finest film of this year. Awards all around. This is the kind of movie they should be making more of of... filled with feeling, about life and relationships, and the sacrifices we make for what we love. Rare, and hopefully will be seeing more like this.

Jessica Lange is a national treasure, and Kathy Bates continues to be an amazing actress. Lily Rabe will break your heart. Have tissues handy. Direction is perfect, capturing all the emotion for a small screen.

Well done all.

Cannot express how brilliant Jessica Lange is in this film. What else does she have to prove in her career - nothing. She's one of a few actors to have the triple crown (Oscar, Tony, Emmy) and here she is at this point in her career giving one of her best performances, and that's saying a lot. As someone who has dealt with dementia in my own family this was a tough watch. The subject matter is dealt with much care however. The supporting cast is also fantastic, with a standout being Lily Rabe. But the price of admission is all Jessica Lange and she doesn't disappoint. This is a masterclass in great acting. Do not miss this. What an actress!

Jessica Lange is Magical & Astounding. This movie is the perfect platform to remind the world of her prolific acting. While being engrossed in the movie, you can find yourself feeling the same emotions that she is portraying on screen. It truly says something, when you can be so taken aback by a film. The Great Lillian Hall should be nominated for some serious awards. Lily Rabe and Katy Bates were also remarkable. Lange portrays a broadway actress preparing for her next role and an obstacle that could end it all, makes her pour her everything into the production, singing her swan song. The struggles of navigating this chapter makes her character win the hearts of millions and myself.

For over forty years, Jessica Lange has been one of the most renowned actresses of her generation, both on the big and small screens, as well as stage. She combines these in "The Great Lillian Hall", playing a Broadway star beginning to suffer from dementia. Lange really puts her all into the role. Fine support comes from Kathy Bates, Lily Rabe, Jesse Williams and Pierce Brosnan. It just goes to show that when a story focuses on people rather than nonstop CGI, we actually end up with a good story. This is exactly the sort of movie that I recommend to everyone, and I hope that Jessica Lange gets to continue making these sorts of movies.
