## Before you buy

- The supplied customer evidence contains aggregate ratings only, so it does not establish what viewers liked or disliked. The rating spread is mixed rather than uniformly positive, and a small total of ratings gives limited context.

## A good fit for

- Viewers interested in stage-to-screen adaptations of Henrik Ibsen.
- Fans of Jonathan Demme or Wallace Shawn who want this drama on DVD.

## Less suited to

- Shoppers seeking a Blu-ray edition, since this listing specifies DVD.

## Customer feedback

Aggregate customer ratings are mixed, with ratings concentrated in the four- and five-star categories but a notable share in the two- and three-star categories. This gives a cautious overall signal for a film adaptation, but without comment summaries it does not reveal what viewers valued or criticized.
