Nichols has actually committed all the classic errors of the sophisticated stage director let loose on the unsophisticated movies. For starters, he has underestimated the power of the spoken word in his search for visual pyrotechnics.

Village Voice
Edward Albee's vitriolic stage portrayal of domestic blisslessness translated grainily and effectively to the screen.

Time Out
Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf? is easily the most sensational film of the year.

Rating: 9/10 --
[Haskell Wexler's] camera work is highly expressive, using odd angles, unusual close-ups, and handheld shots to mirror the out-of-kilter nature of the characters' worlds.

I could watch Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton do this for hours.

[Taylor] is nothing less than brilliant as the shrewish, slovenly. blasphemous, frustrated, slightly wacky, alcoholic wife of a meek, unambitious assistant professor of history at a university, over which her father reigns as president.

It's one of the Academy's black marks that Burton didn't win the Best Actor Oscar for his remarkable, career-capping performance.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton are ideal as malevolent marrieds Martha and George in first-time-director Mike Nichols' searing film of Edward Albee's groundbreaking Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Taylor won her second Academy Award (and New York Film Critics, National Board of Review and British Film Academy Best Actress Awards). Burton matches her as her emotionally spent spouse. And George Segal and Best Supporting Actress Oscar winner Sandy Dennis score as another couple straying into their destructive path. The movie won a total of five Academy Awards and remains after five decades a taboo-toppling landmark.
