I think that when you see this movie, you have to keep in mind that it was originally a play and is acted as such. (You even get a curtain call!) Many of the cast members were actually in the play production. So when you combine the stage-style of acting and Rhoda's character, it is a bit campy even though it doesn't try to be, but that makes it good. Some might criticise the acting, but I thought it was amazing, and if you research the awards and nominations the cast has received for the performances on stage and screen, you'll see that others thought so too. This movie's theme was way ahead of its time. I wish I could go back in time to watch the audience's reaction when it was in the theatre. This is one of my favourite movies ever.
