Fierce People.
Nick Schager at Slant on Fierce People: "Director Griffin Dunne's ability to elicit fine performances from [Diane] Lane and [Donald] Sutherland, who share a mature, authentic chemistry, initially overshadows the easy-target critique supplied by Dirk Wittenborn's script (from his own novel). Yet after a number of soft jabs at its spoiled affluent cretins, Fierce People takes a thoroughly ill-advised wrong turn into male-rape territory."
"[W]hereas most of the injustices suffered by [The Nanny Diaries'] nanny are of the skin-deep variety, the hopelessly reductive Fierce People ups the ante," writes Scott Foundas in the Voice. "It says, in effect, tangle with these crazy rich, white folks and they will - quite literally - fuck you up the ass."
