REVIEWERS' FAVORITE--Alex’s Pick:“…one of the most sensual characters in cinema. Maude teaches us that we should always be sensual and completely unashamed of ourselves...”

Barbara: "She is 79, but she flashes a look that is as coquettish as any that could be mustered by a schoolgirl..."

Francesca: "Maude is a walking, talking appreciation of the sensual in life and the short time that we have to enjoy it."

Nancy: "If anyone were to tell me that I would watch a movie where a teenage boy would have sex with a woman in her 70s and think it was charming..."

Teresa: "Harold and Maude addresses the reason we even care about sensuality - that it makes life worth living...required viewing to understand the importance of sensuality.
