The Fever
Tells the story of a woman who gets involved in politics with no previous contact with world events.
Critics Sentiment
Vanessa Redgrave delivers powerful long monologues about inequality
Film discusses what is necessary to create a better world
The film drops from Redgrave's acclaimed performance peak to its lowest point when exploring revolutionary solutions, then recovers as it moves toward resolution
The Fever generates polarized reactions, with viewers either praising its political awakening narrative or dismissing it as heavy-handed Marxist rhetoric. Vanessa Redgrave's performance consistently receives acclaim even from critics who dislike the film's politics. The overall sentiment reflects a challenging art film that succeeds dramatically but divides audiences ideologically.
