Kathleen Turner, Crimes of Passion

David Edelstein

“In her platinum wig, which compresses her face and brings out the curvy slope of her nose, Kathleen Turner does a charming, rococo impersonation of a woman impersonating a hooker, and she's enough of an actress to show you the cracks of anguish in the mask. Her sex scenes with Laughlin are the worst-written in the movie (why does she fall for this dumb jock?), yet she throws herself into them with hungry abandon--which is all the more courageous when you remember who's in the director's chair. (I wouldn't be caught in the same men's room with the director of Lisztomania and Mahler.)….”
