Sally Field does a wonderful job recounting the true life story of the process that 'Sybil' underwent with the help of her therapist to deal with her multiple personalities. Field is wonderful in this role. She demonstrates here the same depth that she demonstrates in later films like "Steel Magnolias'. As always, JoAnne Woodward does a superb job playing the therapist.
This is a difficult movie to watch at times because it retells the trauma that 'Sybil' went through, but it is a very good film because the actors make you forget they are acting. Lastly, the technical aspects of the film like the transition and action scenes use somewhat dated techniques that are not as smooth as the processes we are used to seeing in today's movies.
