"Jagged Edge" is supremely effective at what it sets out to do - toy with the audience. It's another effective thriller from Richard Marquand, who made "Eye of the Needle." The performances are good and the plot is watertight, as a whodunit must be.Oct 4, 1985

She plays Joan Castleman, self-effacing wife to preening New York literary eminence Joe Castleman, played by Jonathan Pryce.
A newspaper office is the site of one of Ron Howard’s and Glenn Close ’s most underrated films. She is Alicia Clark, the formidable managing editor of the fictional paper the New York Sun, and is responsible for cutbacks and continually at loggerheads with a mercurial reporter, played by Michael Keaton. It is a very good “corporate” role for Close – a style that probably found its greatest expression in the TV show Damages.
It tells the story of a woman in 19th-century Dublin who passed herself off as a man.
Close was the only possible casting in this 90s live-action version of the much-loved story. She is the notorious dognapper Cruella De Vil, her fiercely intelligent, almost Roman face now magnified and distorted by this pantomime dame of a role, and yet strangely – and even though it can hardly be taken seriously – her unconventional beauty and sexiness are very potent in this film.
Tortured relationship …. Glenn Close as Jenny Fields in The World According to Garp. Photograph: Allstar/Warner Bros. Close made her movie debut with this film and immediately won a best supporting actress Oscar nomination for her performance.
In this sensational true-crime story, portraying one of the great courtroom scandals of the 20th century, Close was destined to be upstaged a little by Jeremy Irons, but it is fascinating and apposite casting for her nonetheless. She plays Martha “Sunny” Crawford, the fabulously wealthy heiress who marries the charming but sinister oil executive Claus Von Bülow, played by Irons. Almost at once, he appears to play on her ill health and anxieties. Close’s performance, especially when she is young and in love, is captivating.
Fanatically pursuing a grudge against an ex-lover, the Marquise plots the seduction of his innocent young fiancee, in tandem with the worldly and cynical Valmont, played by John Malkovich. It is to end in her own disgrace, and the scene in which the entire opera house hissingly turns on her is uniquely disturbing, as Close’s face becomes a chalky mask of incredulous horror.
Glenn Close plays a high profile lawyer who takes on the case of a man accused of murdering his socialite wife. Business meets pleasure though as she starts to engage in an affair with her client, even as she tries to prove his innocence.
When a lawyer is terminated from his firm because he is found to have HIV, he struggles both against the prejudices and the system to prove he did nothing wrong.
