I am a 70s film buff easily seeing more than 1000 movies from the 1970s, so was excited to see this one that I seemed to miss. Came highly regarded and saw Ebert gave it 4 out of 4. But it's a snoozefest. Yes, I get it, the acting is good but very little happens. Maybe back in the day it was interesting, notably, Ebert's review as written in 1972 and he says this: "There is a new kind of movie emerging in the 1970s that considers, with almost frightening perceptiveness, the ways people really behave toward each other." Ebert also adds: "Bleak Moments (the title is awfully apt) is not entertaining in any conventional way. This is not to say for a moment that it is boring or difficult to watch; on the contrary, it is impossible not to watch." 50 years later this movie is too dated and now just a pure bore.
