Streisand produced, developed the script, and composed most of the music for this showpiece, and her efforts, as usual, pay off, above all in her angry and lively performance.

Streisand's a star, which means your complicity is on call at all times. In the shade, Dreyfuss is terrific, banking down his natural cockiness.

The film is almost entirely adrift.

It is a very good movie and important because it takes on the issue of incest, framing it cinematically with accuracy and sensitivity.
