What is so compelling about this story is Jessica Lange's performance and the vulnerability she displays. It is the story of a strong rebellious woman way ahead of the socially acceptable parameters of her generation. For that she suffers innumerable injustices. This film will emotionally drained you. Lange's performance is gut wrenching. It is a love story at it's core. "Harry" truly loved her and when he sees the altered Frances post lobotomy and realizes that the woman he loves is a mere shell of her former self his pain is palatable. This movie left me emotionally drained and it was truly worth it. Simply wonderful.
