The Whisperers stars Dame Edith Evans as a lonely old woman whose imagination is getting the better of her sanity. She insists that she hears whisperers plotting and planning against her at all times; she also believes that these imaginary entities are spying on her. So suspicious is Ms. Evans of her nonexistent whisperers that she fails to notice the very real predators around her. She is robbed of her life's savings by a nasty friend (Avis Brunnage), and is exploited by her estranged con-artist husband (Eric Portman) and her no-good son (Ronald Fraser) Even when she catches on to the duplicity of others, Ms. Evans is so far gone with her whisperers that the authorities refuse to believe her. Seedy and sordid though it may be, The Whisperers won Edith Evans the Best Actress award from the New York Critics' Circle.
5分，本片看的人大白天都要睡着了，极度沉闷无聊，剧作上也看不到什么亮点，更没有什么艺术性，全片真正唯一的看点只有伊迪斯伊万斯奶奶的表演，除此之外本片真的是一部毫无亮点的电影，虽然也不算很烂。本质上就是一个关爱空巢老人的电影，但故事性实在是太差导致影片极度沉闷，而且当你以为男主人公出来以后情况会变好，最后发现完全没有。伊万斯奶奶的表演真是唯一亮点了，难度很高完成度也非常高，但这个成片水平真的拖累表演...

Edith Evans不愧为整部影片的灵魂人物，在当年拿下所有前哨和柏林影后的情况下，却最终在奥斯卡奖上失利，对她来说确实有点不公！
看得人很闷，仿佛看到了自己的老年生活(如果能活到那个时候的话）。氛围感很好，尤其是老太太演技太强了，一个人撑起一部电影。
救命，这个表演......
