## Description

Adapted from the bestselling dystopian novel by Margaret Atwood and with a screenplay by Harold Pinter The Handmaid s Tale stars Natasha Richardson, Faye Dunaway and Robert Duvall. In Atwood s nightmarish fable, the United States of America has become The Republic of Gilead, a right-wing totalitarian state. Women are subjugated and powerless in society. The world is rife with disease and infection, and few women remain who can have children: those who can are taken by the government, and christened handmaids . Kate, a handmaid, is sent to the house of Fred, the Commander. There she must submit to his demands, and those of Serena Joy, his jealous, vindictive wife. But some things cannot be controlled by The Republic - like Kate s growing feelings for The Commander s chauffeur Nick. Or the secret resistance, who meet under darkness. This chilling and memorable film retains all the power of Atwood s feminist classic, and is at once a stinging critique of a totalitarian society, and a moving story of one woman s fight for freedom.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional, Moving & Facinating
*by S***Y on March 15, 2009*

This review was written by my wife: This is one of my all time favorite movies. I think that the plot was well described by other posters, but I have to say that I find this movie so interesting, thought provoking and moving. I own it and have watched it at least 10 times.As entertainment, it's completely captivating from start to finish. The characters are well developed and you really feel strongly for Natasha Richardson's character. I see where someone else didn't like the acting, but I find it very believable. The story has a sci-fi twist, but it actually seems like something that could really take place. As in every good sci-fi, the culture and look of this world is very well defined so that the movie is believable. It's just simply fascinating on so many levels to watch this story play out.I haven't read the book, and I can understand that the movie doesn't necessarily stay true to it. However it's still a fantastic movie. It's a major cautionary tale about what could happen if people full of hate, racism and religious ideas that twist the bible for their own purposes were to gain control of this country.I highly recommend this movie to sci-fi fans, drama fans and to those who are interested in the message of this movie.Please note that this movie does have scenes where sex acts are taking place that are not consentual. Although body parts are not revealed, it's explicit and clear about what's happening.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this movie!
*by T***P on October 11, 2024*

I first seen this movie years and years and years ago and just found it on Amazon so I ordered it, couldn't believe I found it but I actually love this movie as well as the handmaid tale series

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Wake Up Call When It Come To How Much Power A Government Should Have
*by K***E on May 14, 2017*

This is such a great movie, when it first came out in the 90's I didn't quite understand it; but I was young. When I watched it again I was frightened. It's scary to think how much power a government can have. This movie makes you think, especially women. This movie has a great story, and the cast is suburb. The movie is an independent film, but wow what a shocker. This year a remake of The Handmaid's Tale is on Hulu and it even looks better. I just hope it will eventually come out on basic cable. I bought the VHS, because the DVD prices outrageous. I would recommend this film to anyone, but I believe women would enjoy it better. To think a futurist government could do this, is appalling and scary
