Gena Rowlands plays the role at perfect pitch: She is able to suggest, even in the midst of seemingly ordinary moments, the controlled panic of a person who needs a drink, right here, right now.

This was one of the longest two and a half hours of my life... I mean that in a good way. This is my first Cassavetes film and hot damn am I impressed. Opening Night is a stubborn, arresting thing of beauty with an uncomfortable sense of intimacy and a style oozing with melancholy. Gena Rowlands is beyond words here. Seriously. Like, fuck. This is a performance of a lifetime. It's exhausting and features one of the most thoroughly unlikeable protagonists that I've ever seen, but it's also one of the most captivating cinematic experiences I've ever put myself though. Loved it.

Hard to explain why this, or any Cassavetes, moves me so much.

Engrossing portrait of a middle-aged theatre star succumbing to mental breakdown after witnessing the sudden death of a young autograph hound during previews of a new play. Like a lot of Cassavetes' work it suffers from improvisational self-indulgence, but the truths it exposes, the fear of ageing, the loneliness at the heart of all existence, are eternal.

Opening Night hits closest to home in its long, haunting, tension-fueled riffs between Cassavetes and Rowlands, playing lovers on stage and former lovers off stage.
