Screenplay by VOLKER SCHLONDORFF and MARGARETHE VON TROTTA...
...movie is a collaboration between the director and his wife Margarethe von Trotta, who worked on the screenplay and who appears as Elisabeth, a performance of wonderfully explicit compassion. Trotta is able to seize on a well-observed moment, embellish it and build on it without ever becoming extravagant or false. Her uncommon artistry gives A Free Woman a strong and generative center. ∎ Jay Cocks
