TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

jeffsmithey This movie is ridiculously good! I watched it in high school for Psychology class. It is so well filmed even by today's standards. Definitely worth a buy and watch, because all I can say is "wow!" Get this movie if you like watching anything that deals with really weird scenarios and personality disorders.All I can say is that Sybil should be seen as a classic movie and so well filmed for the time that it came out. It will surprise you to see the quality of this film.Anyone that is interested in psychology at all will be stunned by this movie. I would definitely invest in this movie for my collection!

RoxanneMarie I can't say enough about this film. It's breathtaking, lovely, amazing, and overwhelming all at the same time. You will be drawn into the characters and want to hear their backgrounds and dimensions. Months of therapy and breakdowns get to the source of Sybil's despair. Once you see some of Sybil's flashbacks you'll never forget them. Not only that, you may reflect with them.I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys a film that is off the cuff from the normal standard fairy tale. If you enjoy a "could be true" life drama, life experiences, and the amazing separation between reality and the body's unique defense mechanism, protectors, and self survival - you WILL love this film.

sdave7596 The 2 disc DVD of this remarkable film is long overdue. I was 14 when "Sybil" was first shown on NBC, and my mother allowed myself and my sister to watch it. I was probably too young then to comprehend what an amazing job the producers, actors, and writer did with this story. Sally Field was an unlikely choice by the acting standards of the time to take on the disturbed Sybil. She and Joanne Woodward and writer Stewart Stern recount all this in the fascinating extras on the DVD. Field was the last actor to audition for the part, and she won out over all the others. Field creates these separate and distinct personalities, taking us on a journey that leads to some horrifying childhood abuse. She is fascinating throughout, and you won't be able to take your eyes off her. Joanne Woodward as the kind and caring psychiatrist is excellent also. I could watch Woodward in any part, she always approaches her roles with intelligence and is very natural. Brad Davis plays a sort of love interest to Sybil, and he is charming and realizes something is amiss about her, but has no idea the depth to which she is disturbed. Sybil's mother (played by Martine Bartlett) is the portrait of evil, and she is a great actress, because you really believe she is a monster. Field won a well deserved Emmy for this, forever shattering her image as the cutesy "Gidget" type actress. Do yourself a favor and watch this movie - it is as good (and better in some cases) as anything released in the theaters.

suzanne-170 This TV miniseries about a woman with multiple personality disorder was absolutely heart wrenching, intriguing and fascinating. A Must See!!!!!Although Sally Field's won an Academy Award for her performance, her performance went way beyond that of an Oscar. If there was a higher honor she would have deserved it. I have to say she probably performed the best performance that I've ever seen in any film. For years I have been looking for a copy of this film so I could watch it again. Why it was never put on TV again is beyond me, because this has to be one of my most favorite films.I just hope that seeing it again after 30 years,does not ruin my perception of the film and that of Sally's acting.
