Another Woman

Sadly it would seem that Woody Allen's work has not worn well. Here in 'one of his serious ones' we seems particularly ill served with an assortment of characters who spout pretentious and unrealistic dialogue. Beginning with the interesting premise that a writer finds she can hear into nearby psychiatric sessions, this soon degenerates into a pastiche of overindulgent soul searching between a bunch of well off New Yorkers. This is not helped with having Mia Farrow indulging in her favourite role as the hard done by little lady (pregnant throughout too!) but gradually we tire of everyone as they complain about lives that don't seem real anyway. Mercifully short, this seems anything but.

Another Woman is bar none one of the best movie Woody Allen has ever made. In this movie, Marion Post (Gena Rowlands) starts to reexamine her life when she overhears Hope (Mia Farrow) speaking with her analyst. Of course, a one sentence synopsis cannot even begin to do justice to this masterpiece's depth. The characters are incredibly engaging and the dialog is a pure joy to behold when delivered by one of cinema's finest assembled casts. Gena Rowlands, of course, delivers her role wonderfully, but Gene Hackman's performance is nothing short of stellar. The brief moments he is allowed on screen are gems to be treasured and represent some of his finest work to date. Only Hannah and Her Sisters comes close to matching the perfection of this movie, with all of its emotional and intellectual complexity. Ten out of ten. Memorable, beautiful, and wonderful.

This is not like any other Woody Allen movie I've seen before. He writes and directs this film which hits many levels of the human heart. The acting is well performed and the subject matter makes you reflect upon your own life and the choices you've made along the way. This one is to be added to your collection.

Another Woman is an exquisite drama written and directed by the genius Woody Allen. The cast is superb (with the exception of Farrow -since she started her ugly vengeful crusade against Woody I cannot watch her on screen, sorry). The writing is amazing, the cinematography is stunning and the music is melancholic and beautiful. Gena Rowlands' performance is absolutely breathtaking. One of the best dramas ever written. Another gem by Woody Allen. Woody's the best. 10/10.

This is a character study film. There are many "layers" to the story. Allen comments via the character in a subtle way. The film uses surreal and the subconscious to lead the characters to their destination. I like the fact that the ending left the viewer with his or her own ideas about the outcome of the characters. Nothing in this film is "forced on the viewer." Gena Rowlands narrates and is very easy to listen to. This is definitly not a film for the person who would rather watch than think. Rowlands puts in a very fine performance, in my opinion, she is one of the under-rated actress' of her time. The film runs less than 90 minutes. I didn't know what to expect when the film started but was surprised and pleased with this film!

This is a wonderful movie but not an easy one. It mixes the present with the past and dreams with real life. You will need to see it three or four times at least to get the best out of it but it's well worth doing. Every performance is spot on, every scene has a purpose, there is no padding here. It comes as a shock to Gena Rowlands character that she is not what she thought she was, that people do not view her in the way she thought they did.She takes a journey through her life to see what went wrong with the unwitting aid of a psychiatrist and patient in the apartment next door. The film ends abruptly without a proper resolution just as life can and does. The final line of Gena Rowlands beautiful narration will haunt you. A masterpiece of writing and direction to say nothing of superb acting and masterful cinematography.
