Klute
A high-priced call girl is forced to depend on a reluctant private eye when she is stalked by a psychopath.
Critics Sentiment
Klute and Bree develop a romantic relationship despite her reservations
Discovery that prostitute Jane McKenna apparently committed suicide
The film peaks during the romance development between Klute and Bree, then dips significantly during the middle investigation scenes before recovering for the climax
Critics consistently praise Jane Fonda's Oscar-winning performance and the film's atmospheric cinematography, though many note pacing issues in the middle section. The character study elements receive widespread acclaim while the mystery plot is seen as competent but somewhat predictable. Most reviewers appreciate the ambiguous ending that stays true to the psychological complexity established throughout.
