- Douglas’s combination of this film, Wall Street and an Oscar is endorsed as his career peak.
- Close’s commercial peak is distinguished from her best acting, with Dangerous Liaisons favored for performance and its Oscar loss lamented.
- 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.
- Lyne is endorsed for his best film, director nomination and proximity to Nine 1/2 Weeks; gated elevators win over Unfaithful.

- Douglas’s flustered characterization and Archer’s appearance, especially her softer 1980s hair, are praised.
- Alex’s white wardrobe and wild hair support her character; the Bedford home exemplifies an ideal country house.
- The early-1980s Volvo, enduring bunny jokes and period Meatpacking District are singled out.
- Beth’s father glaring at Dan, Playland and the chemistry among the three leads are praised.
