Long Day's Journey is O'Neill's greatest play, and this is a wonderful film of a wonderful stage production. It doesn't matter that it is produced by an English company rather than a US company; they get it.... they understand the depth and complexity of the Tyrone family. Olivier is perfect as James Tyrone... He's a perfect choice for the role. It's hard to watch this play if you are a citizen of the United States... not because it's bad, but because it's so good... and true... one has to wonder what it took for O'Neill to look so unflinchingly at his own family's dysfunction... and, by extension, the mythical notion of the "American Dream," what personal cost was it to him to write this play?.... and one has to admire the raw courage it took put it to paper.... and one has to wonder what price the actors had to pay to perform it.... It's an amazing work of art. I love this play, and I love this version of it. Rent it and watch it.
