UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Alistair Olson After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

charliebeaglewoof This is still a must see movie for Bette Davis completists but for anyone wanting a well paced, well acted film, go back 12 years to All About Eve. The much talked of feud between Bette and Joan Crawford is easily imagined in this bitter film of sisters turned enemies. Scenes between the two are often electric but the whole film is poorly directed. So much could have been trimmed to make a faster, scarier flick. Instead we get hammy extras and excessive exposition where none really is needed. It's kinda like the movie makers were worried that the audience wouldn't get it. The result is a classic, but a rusty one. Buyer beware.

jerralagbayani Thrilling, A Never Aging Horror, More Scary than the Babadook, this film has it all! Basically Jane is constantly talking smack about Bette and torments her breaking her down to her last options. As the story progresses you can see the violent change in Jane's character as she percieves Bette as sort of a "baby" in some ways, and goes to the point where she wants to torture Bette for fun. This film beats Split and Babadook and has the highest rating and applause I may ever rate on this site. There is almost nothing wrong out of the film but gets a little slow 4/5ths in for about 15 minutes.

janiceferrero I've always being a fan of What Ever Happened To Baby Jane. I saw it for the first time as a teenager and Bette and Joan became my obsession. I tried to see everything they had done and did I? All About Eve, The Little Foxes, Now Voyager as well as Mildred Pierce, Humoresque. I warmed up quicker to Bette. Her horrible women were priceless and she was fearless. Joan Crawford kept me at a distance, I think the cosmetics got in the way. But now, watching Baby Jane in 2017 - thanks to the amazing Ryan Murphy series "Feud" - I saw a very different Crawford and her performance has grown in scope and depth. I know I shall see this film again. Fascinating to realize there is still so much to discover.

Charles Herold (cherold) This 60s thriller ingeniously casts two faded Hollywood stars as ... two faded Hollywood stars. While Joan Crawford's Blanche is stuck in a wheelchair Bette Davis's Jane takes care of her. Bitter that her career as a child vaudeville star was eclipsed by Blanche's adult career, Davis drinks, looks through her old scrapbooks, and, unfortunately for Blanche, begins to lose her mind.Davis commits fully to her bizarre character, starting out as a slatternly drudge and slowly going over the edge. There is a bravery to Davis' role most notable in her extraordinary recreation of Jane's childhood act. Victor Buono is also excellent as a rather peculiar pianist.While I've never been a big Crawford fan, she is quite good as Blanche, whose genial indulgence of her sister slowly turns to terror.The movie is a classic of its kind and necessary viewing for fans of Davis and/or 60s thrillers.
