Critical Reception & Ratings

The Table is a 1973 drama film directed by Adrian Lyne. While it received little critical attention upon its release, the film has since gained a cult following for its intimate, minimalist depiction of a couple's tense argument at the breakfast table. The film's strong character-driven approach and naturalistic performances have led some critics to re-evaluate it as an underrated gem.
