The greatest credit for the implacable engagement that the film creates for its audience must go to the director, Mike Nichols. Nichols makes a stunning film bow with Virginia Woolf.

Edward Albee's vitriolic stage portrayal of domestic blisslessness translated grainily and effectively to the screen.

And in its forthright dealing with the play, this becomes one of the most scathingly honest American films ever made.
