...The film as a whole retains a raw, compulsive frisson...

Rating: 3/4 --
It probably wasn't possible to make a satisfactory film of The Birthday Party. On the other hand, it's impossible to imagine a better film of Pinter's play than this sensitive, disturbing version directed by William Friedkin.
