Girlfriends

One of the best films I have seen in a while. The visuals just take your attention right from the beginning. The story is real and sometimes feels too close to home. Deliactely handled and beautifully directed. Acting is all natural. The friendships and the adulthood. Not being enough in both personal and professional life. The growth of the character. Feeling independent and everything in between. Camera work is done so efficiently, it almost teaches you where to put a camera while shooting a scene.

Girlfriend housemates in a very close, but non lesbian relationship struggle to cope with the changes in their relationship caused when one of them suddenly decides to marry.

Decent film just chilling n tha mainly though so wouldn't watch it if ye tired. Was good though very rewatchable very diffrent to alot of the films of the 70's feels like a 2010s rom com but better more depth not your tipical protagonist ye on it.

Most likeable film that for some reason had never come to my attention before. Nothing particularly exciting or eventful happens and yet the various comings and goings of these New York youngsters resonates. There is nothing strikingly beautiful or exceptional but we believe in all the characters (maybe less so the two gallery owners in the neck braces!) and feel for them as some interactions go less well than others. Certainly seems to capture a most authentic feel and this is partly because the clothing worn has not been selected from racy boutiques but actors' own wardrobes and the script is firmly based in the everyday. A light humour arises from the odd exchange and overall this is a most enjoyable 90 minutes.

If you get someone to make a movie about things they know and are familiar with ... well let's just say you are onto a good beginning. In this case we have the struggle of female artists. The struggle is real as they say .. for any artist. But females had it (and still in a lot of ways) worse. Certain situations will be familiar to those who have some of the same issues. Who have tried to look and move forward. But always get something put in their way. Put struggles with human interactions or "friends" and relationships in general ... and you have a winner/loser here. Well told even if for some it may feel a bit slow ...

i saw this at the theater when it came out, haven't thought about it since and i think very few others have either. it's not even in my 1994 Leonard Maltin guide. but it remained with me regardless, to the point that a chance encounter with the title just now provoked me to come here to say that all these good reviews are well deserved. i'm almost afraid to find and watch it again... no, i'm confident i'll like it just as much, even thirty-five years later. hmm, too bad i have to write ten lines; i thought i had said it all. what to add? that sometimes, as with this review, less is better, and film might be better with less than Woody Allen would have done with more. oh, and that Kubrick called it the best film of 1978.
