Amazon.com essential video:
Sunday Bloody Sunday is a masterpiece from the days when movies, in general, were much more mature. As written by renowned film critic Penelope Gilliatt and directed by John Schlesinger, this complicated love triangle among three upscale Londoners was a milestone for its time, not simply for its nonchalant treatment of a homosexual relationship, but for illustrating the way sensible adults will negotiate for love, even if it's inconvenient or destined to fail. A doctor in his forties, Daniel (Peter Finch, proving his greatness seven years before Network) loves the much younger artist Bob (Murray Head), who also loves employment counselor Alex (Glenda Jackson at her finest). There's no deception between them--just the troubling dilemma of three lovers with differing degrees of certainty and commitment. Bob's relative blandness is the film's only weakness, but it's tolerable in a drama so deeply understanding of complex human behavior. Deliberately paced but immensely rewarding to the attentive viewer, this was Schlesinger's follow-up to Midnight Cowboy--two great films by a director in his prime. --Jeff Shannon

Rating:  - "It Is So Seventies !"
I have loved this film since it was first released in Canada. I saw it at a theatre on Yonge Street in Toronto at a Saturday matinee where the kiss between the two men started a mini-riot sparked by some teen-aged boys in the audience. They were probably expecting a gangster movie !
I have over the years recommended the film, and loaned my VHS and DVD copies to people younger than myself who universally seem to have the same reaction, "It is so Seventies !" Never mind that it is one of the ... Read More
Rating: - a fine film
I couldn't add anything over/above that which has been said already about this film (in a variety of places, readily consultable). While I found "Women in Love" to be perhaps slightly more compelling, this is a very satisfying film; and I am very glad to have found a copy at last.
Rating:  - A very thinky movie, considering
that it deals with two attractivre, middle-aged people, a man and a woman, deeply in love with the same young man, who returns both their loves (in fact, seems to be the most sexually agressive of the three), but who will not choose between the other two, and generally refuses to be crowded in any way. It seems that before the movie starts, both Alex (Glenda Jackson) and Daniel (Peter Finch) have agreed to this arrangement, no matter how uncomfortable it makes both of them. This makes for a superficially ... Read More
Rating: - Complicated love
What a treat to see Glenda Jackson and Peter Finch in the film about midlife love for a young, uninhibited artist (Bob). We see two middle aged, upper class intellectuals (Alex and Daniel) both deeply in love with the same person. The object of their love is young, handsome and talented young man who is also unintentionally cruel to them both. By sharing his love with male and female lover(s) he is torturing them with uncertainty of his commitment to either one of them. His doe like eyes and agreeable ... Read More
Rating: - A mature, realistic depiction of relationships...
I've always loved this film. It's an incredibly intelligent, realistic depiction of relationships. It is directedly sensitively and beautifully by John Schlesinger, one of the finest British directors. This is his follow up film to his incredible Midnight Cowboy, and he doesn't disappoint. Peter Finch and Glenda Jackson are both in love (or so they think) with Murray Head. This film depicts this love triangle not in a sleazy, comical way (like it would today), but as a deep, thoughtful, painful, and NORMAL ... Read More
