Synopsis: University professor Marion Post is experiencing a type of midlife crisis, so she rents an apartment in order to write a book. The apartment is next to a psychiatrist's office, and she... University professor Marion Post is experiencing a type of midlife crisis, so she rents an apartment in order to write a book. The apartment is next to a psychiatrist's office, and she inadvertently hears what transpires between the doctor and some of her patients. She becomes obsessed with the life and ongoing therapy of one woman in particular who believes that her marriage is ending. Through this patient, Marion begins to think about issues in her own life and the causes of her own unhappiness. Woody Allen's intense psychodrama, based somewhat on Ingmar Bergman's psychoanalytic masterpiece WILD STRAWBERRIES, features fabulous performances from Gena Rowlands and Gene Hackman, as well as terrific minor turns by Blythe Danner, John Houseman, and Martha Plympton.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Film is the most voyeuristic medium, but rarely have I experienced this fact more sharply than while watching Woody Allen's Another Woman.

It makes for a decidedly uneven, occasionally fascinating, but ultimately rather frustrating experience.

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

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

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

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

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

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