Movie Info

Grad-school administrative head Marion Post (Gena Rowlands) is in the midst of writing a book. The walls are thin in the apartment she's taken for work purposes, and soon Marion begins listening to the sessions conducted by her neighbor, an analyst. One of the patients is Hope (Mia Farrow), whose marriage is in tatters. As Hope prattles on, Marion begins flashing back to highlights (and lowlights) of her own marriage. Her musings are constantly interrupted by the memory of the man (Gene Hackman)

Film that emerges is brave, in many ways fascinating, and in all respects of a caliber rarely seen.

A piece of posturing phoniness designed to awe spectators who like their psychodramas third-hand and upscale.

Rowlands' perfectly pitched approach to a demanding role is particularly stunning.

Mr. Allen is becoming an immensely sophisticated director, but this screenplay is in need of a merciless literary editor.

The storytelling is fluid and dramatic -- almost theatrical -- the film glows with light and the design is economically artful.

Once again, Allen has mistaken unfunny for serious, feeling the breath of immortality on his shoulder.

Though not one of Woody Allen's strongest films, this Bergman-like psychological melodrama is too self-conscious and contrived, but the cast, headed by Gena Rowlands and Gene Hackman, is good.

Superbly written and directed by a film-maker at the peak of his creative power, and with a sublime performance by Rowlands to match, this film has not a joke in sight.

Nykvist's photography is impeccable, as is Loquasto's spare production design.

Intellectually posturing.

Commercially ignored and critically unheralded even by Allen's own falling standards, [the film is] a sensitive, accomplished, and ambitious picture that deserves notice.

Not Woody's best. He gets serious and that's usually not a good sign.

Sometimes emotionally disengaging, but generally an intelligent Bergman-esque study of one woman's quest for fulfillment.

Celebrates the honesty and courage needed by men and women at midlife to face up to the truth of things and then to change.

Not a film for everyone, but one that's well written and affecting, with some good performances on show.

Slow think piece but a dynamite showcase for the great talents of Gena Rowlands.
