Don’t even get me started, Aryn. Mia Farrow gave a career performance in “Rosemary’s Baby” and got the cold shoulder for a movie everyone still remembers, except for Oscar. Critics agree that Farrow makes the horror feel real before Rosemary can even name it. We watch a trusting young woman gradually realize that her husband, her neighbors and even her doctor have taken control of her body—and that being agreeable won’t save her. Rosemary is frightened and isolated, but Farrow keeps her observant, questioning and increasingly determined. She makes us feel the effort it takes to resist people who insist they know what’s best.
