Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Given that Woody Allen is my favorite filmmaker, I feel like I must address what my favorite film of his would be...You probably wanted to know at some point... Just kidding.Anyway, after giving it a lot of thought on what I would consider Woody Allen's best work, it is definitely this one. It's one of his lesser known works, but it is so brilliant! I feel like I connect with it the most.It's his magnum opus. Arresting and intimate and insightful. It's about a philosophy professor Marion played by Gena Rowlands, who narrates the film, is on a brief leave of absence to write a new book. While inside a furnished flat that she is subletting, she overhears in-depth therapy sessions going on in a neighboring office. At first distracting, but soon she becomes intrigued by the details of the patient, played by Mia Farrow. From there, Marion reflects on her own life: the disappointments, the regrets, the sorrows.By the end, she resolves to change her life for the better.It is a very deep film; very reflective. I feel like it's Allen's most personal film to date. It is a rather short film, clocking in at less than an hour and a half, yet it's so impressive.Definitely an A+

I have never seen a film that immediately brought me to an emotional state. I was vested in these characters almost instantly. The story unfolds slowly into what I believe is a very natural and very human tale of life,loss,wins,losses and regrets....almost Dickens' like in its approach with subtle hints of Hitchcock. I think this is Woody Allens best film. Full of melancholy and deep analysis.The soundtrack, a song written by Erik Satie, is the perfect background for what this film is trying to convey. 'Another Woman' could be played over and over again in order to grasp all of the main characters thoughts and feelings. This movie touched me...like no movie I have ever seen before. Excellent. Poignant. Moving. A must watch for any Woody Allen fan. I've been a fan of Gena Rowland's and this was one of her finest performances!

Gena Rowlands lives in her own world, really. She is married but is self-sufficient and, as she will soon find out, her world is coming apart. She is a very intelligent and well-educated woman but is one of those people who can't see past the end of their nose. In writing her latest book, she rents office space for quiet but is distracted by a voice confessing to a psychiatrist. She is enamored by the vulnerable and lost voice (Mia Farrow) and in the process learns about herself. In dealing with family members, her eyes are slowly beginning to open to see her own flaws and how to forgive herself and others. Gena Rowlands gives a spectacular performance in this introspective, insightful and intuitive Woody Allen film. It's beyond me why Gena was never recognized by Oscar for this film, or how this film never has gotten as much recognition as other Woody Allen films, like Hannah and Her Sisters and Annie Hall and even Interiors. This is a film not just for women but for all who demand intelligence and something challenging and worthwhile in the movies they see. No one can really write films like Woody Allen, where less is more. This short film will leave you thinking about your own life and how you get along with others. A tour de force for Gena Rowlands and Woody Allen!

Woody Allen's most satisfying cinematic achievement, psychologically speaking. A well accomplished woman in her fifties, through a deep and painful process, reaches upon the realization that her entire life has been full of lies and deception, intended on defending herself from true passion and emotion. The film paces through like a slow haunting voyage into her psyche, with each step going deeper, reaching painful truths that Marion (and the audience) cannot block away any further. This goes on until finally she is forced to see her life and choices for what they are. At which point liberation and inner peace become possible. It is really a metaphor for the psychoanalytical process at its best.
