For anyone with an interest in multiple personalities, psychotherapy, and how psychiatrists have functioned over the past half century, this is a fascinating movie. What I would recommend is that you combine watching the film and the extra DVD features with reading the book "Exposing Sybil" which came out a bit more than a decade ago, and thus after this 30th anniversary release. I was gobsmacked--I could not have possibly imagined how this unfolded.

I bought this movie because my daughter’s teacher showed it to the class without permission. I don’t think it’s the right thing for young impressionable teens, especially with everyone having a “Mental Disorder” due to Covid. The movie was fine for my age, but not young teens!

The case to this dvd collection of two discs was a bit wonky. But the price was good and the first disc that I watched played and looked great!!! Looking forward to viewing the second disc.

Sybil is a classic. Most will purchase because they’ve seen before. Sally Fields is convincing as she portrays a young women dealing with multiple personalities. I’m horrible at rewriting reviews. I purchased the movie because it’s been years since I’ve seen it and wanted to see it again. It’s old school kind of cool…

I have always been fascinated about Sybil. Sally Fields plays an astonishing character and Dr. Wilbur tries her best to help Sybil. My movie is in great shape and played very well. I recommend it.

This is a very basic music player and is user friendly. Perfect for the users who have a couple of favorite albums/songs they want to have for travel. Basic use and navigation is very simple and easy to comprehend, as I was able to figure this device out without a manual. Quality of playback and screen clarity was not sacrificed due to his size. It's light weight and very compact and portable so it's a perfect travel companion. The only con I can think of with this device, is that the touch pad is uber sensitive and it's best to keep your player on the hold button to prevent any accidental commands.
Awesome movie. Sally Field did a GREAT playing the part of Sybil. If anyone wants to see a great movie that Sally Field starred in they need to watch this movie.

I absolutely love this movie because it shows a woman going through hardships I cannot even imagine, and overcoming them. I also am excited because I had to tape the original version off TV to get the full, uncut movie. The VHS got lost and when I tried to replace it, all I could find were edited versions missing crucial scenes. The second DVD shows all 83 "lost" pieces of art that were found and not sold after "Sybil's" death. There is obvious variety of styles, and these were done before "Sybil" met Dr Wilbur. There is also an interview with a close friend of "sybil's" who gives us insight into the real person. The movie is fictionalized, and most of the 2nd DVD is about casting and production. I was less interested in that part. It was interesting to me to know Sally Field was not always a dramatic actor & had to fight for the part, and how much resistance there was by nearly everyone except the writer & Joanne Woodward. All performances by the major roles are absolutely wonderful, casting could not have been better!Read full review
My daughters and I remembered the original airing of this story and have been hoping some channel would show reruns of the series - based on a true story. Sally Field's performance was so compelling and convincing that she had etched Sybil in our minds. I was delighted to find this DVD. My daughter and I watched the first three hours last weekend. This weekend, we'll continue.

It seems that a lot of fans aren't aware that "Sybil" actually WAS available on VHS back in the day, from CBS Fox Video. The thing was, that version was EXTREMELY cut down from it's original runtime of 187 minutes. "Sybil" was a tv mini-series (back when tv movies were really excellent) and the whole Epic couldn't fit on a VHS tape. THAT version was such a letdown for anyone familiar with the original, which many consider to be a masterpiece. Most of the stuff that was removed dealt with Sybil's relationship with the Brad Davis character, which were really beautiful moments. But most unforgivable was the removal of the end; the climactic scene where Sybil meets all her personalities as they stepped out from behind trees, one by one; that scene was just GONE. Now finally the entire film is available in this 2 disc Anniversary dvd set and I can't recommend it highly enough..Read full review
