  • Douglas’s combination of this film, Wall Street and an Oscar is endorsed as his career peak. — Bill Simmons
  • Close’s commercial peak is distinguished from her best acting, with Dangerous Liaisons favored for performance and its Oscar loss lamented. — Wesley Morris
  • Archer is endorsed for her performance and appeal; swapping her and Close would undermine the film.
  • Bedford receives a yes. Female thriller villains are considered through the film’s influence, with concern about less sophisticated successors. — Wesley Morris
  • Lyne is endorsed for his best film, director nomination and proximity to Nine 1/2 Weeks; gated elevators win over Unfaithful.
