Kid averse ex-moll Gena Rowlands gets stuck with an 8-year-old when her neighbor, mob accountant/ FBI informant Buck Henry, gets noisily rubbed out. Then it’s a road movie for the smart-mouthed twerp and smartly suited, heat-packing Rowlands (Best Actress Oscar nomination).
“Cassavetes films Rowlands, his wife, with self-deprecating adoration; the demanding man likens himself to the defenseless boy, and both are saved by this gloriously burdened woman who would kill for them.” – Richard Brody, The New Yorker
