"“Lilith,” a Hollywood art film which had its premiere at the 1964 New York Film Festival, gave Seberg her juiciest role, that of a bewitching patient with schizophrenia — variously taunting, seductive, witchy, and childlike — with the power to drive men mad, notably a mental hospital attendant (oafishly played by Warren Beatty) and an exceedingly nervous fellow patient (Peter Fonda). But, even though the New York Times critic Bosley Crowther cited Seberg’s “fresh, flighty, fearsome performance,” “Lilith” flopped and afterward, the actress was confined — not to a hospital — but to a succession of hopeless parts in mediocre or embarrassing movies. (Ultimately, Lilith’s fate would be her own.) Late in her career, however, Seberg did appear in one notable avant-garde film, comparable in its way to Rappaport’s." New York Times
