The Maids再度好評

[paulik (The Rotten Age)]

正在紐約巡演的女僕首波劇評已出世
阿姐再度（不意外）大獲好評

華盛頓郵報

Blanchett has been more haunting still on the stage, as Blanche in the
stunning production of “A Streetcar Named Desire” that, as then-co-artistic
director of Sydney Theatre Company, she brought to the Kennedy Center in
2009. She’s been funnier, too, as evidenced by her exuberant take on Yelena
in “Uncle Vanya” at the center two years later. But as the turbulent,
histrionic Claire, never has she seemed freer.

Blanchett is particularly resourceful, and harrowing, in showing us Claire's
desperation, which extends to using her mistress's personal items to land the
master in legal trouble. Facing her employer (Elizabeth Debicki, in a
deliciously vulgar performance) after her plot has been foiled, if not
exposed, Blanchett's Claire crumples, and the thinness of her fortitude is
made devastatingly plain.

紐約時報

I wouldn’t have missed it for the world.

That’s largely because of Ms. Blanchett, who won the Oscar this year for
Woody Allen’s “Blue Jasmine” and has been seen to dazzling effect in New
York with the Sydney Theater Company productions of “A Streetcar Named Desire
” and “Uncle Vanya.” Once again, she proves herself to be the ruling
mutation master among contemporary actresses.

Ms. Blanchett portrays Claire, the younger and (marginally) meeker of the two
title characters, who with her sister, Solange (Ms. Huppert), regularly acts
out the fantasy ritual of murdering their rich and gorgeous employer, known
only as Mistress, played by Ms. Debicki. (On this night, Claire gets to be
Mistress, while Solange portrays Claire.) In doing so, Ms. Blanchett would
seem to deploy every theatrical tool that she has at her command, though I
suspect she still holds a few in reserve to surprise us the next time we see
her.

The Wrap

Watching Blanchett, you realize that the original Margo Channing, Norma
Desmond, and Neelie O'Hara where played, respectively, by Bette Davis, Gloria
Swanson, and Patty Duke. When great actresses go nuts, no man in a dress can
top them.

Inspired is the casting of Blanchett-lookalike Debicki as the mistress. She
is the overly polished “blue” Jasmine before her husband lost all his
money, went to jail, and committed suicide. Like all great actresses,
Blanchett already has her imitator, and it's nice to report that Debicki beat
the drag queens to the job.

And yet the show’s belief that too much is never enough casts a crazy spell.
Blanchett is on fire, pouring her all into Claire’s hatred and humiliation —
 at one point, Huppert pushes her head in a toilet. It’s a performance for
the ages.

好萊塢報導

Blanchett — who previously appeared in New York to great acclaim in Sydney
Theatre Company productions of Uncle Vanya, Hedda Gabler and A Streetcar
Named Desire — scores yet another triumph with a virtuosic, physically and
emotionally revealing turn that galvanizes from first moment to last.
