Review of Klute

Klute (1971)
7/10
Works more as a drama than suspense

I enjoyed Klute mainly for the relationship of the leads, characters (played by Fonda and Sutherland) with sort of opposite personalities - and the opposites attract type story. A lot of these scenes were pretty well done and compelling. Also good was the character insight we are given through Fonda's character as she visits a psychologist and "thinks aloud". It's a pretty old production, but manages to add a lot of interesting visuals and cuts - music is a little bizarre but doesn't really detract from the movie. The mystery is pretty much given away quickly, but there are some good suspenseful shots. All and all the movie does a good job at building the friendship, acceptance, and trust between the 2 leads and that's it's strength really in that tale and dynamic. Pretty good.
