And it still holds up. Jill Clayburgh plays a comfy East Side wife whose lawyer husband (Michael Murphy) one day drops a bombshell on her: He doesn't love her and he's walking out on the marriage. Clayburgh, who is accustomed to thinking of herself as an adjunct to her man, suddenly must stand on her own two feet. But it's not an easy transition for her. This was one of the first movies to show how tough it can be, and Clayburgh portrays a compelling blend of vulnerability and growing strength. She even meets a great new guy, a painter (Alan Bates) who, she discovers, she can love without losing herself in the process. --Marshall Fine Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Under the Manhattan SunI vaguely knew An Unmarried Woman got a lot of buzz when it was released so decided to give it a whirl. What a dated disappointment, typical Mazursky pablum, however, pre-gentrification New York appeared really authentic and affordable. An upperclass, very straight, middle aged housewife and mom (Jill Clayburg) who has it all-doorman apt, part time job in an art gallery, a fabulous figure, supportive friends and a stockbroker husband, finds her perfect existence shattered when hubby ...

It is one of the most unwatchable films ever to receive that distinction. Self-absorbed, bitchy, whiny, ungrateful, boring women sitting around kvetching about their lousy husbands, their indulgent affairs with teenagers, their loneliness. Good grief, shut up already. No wonder your marriages sucked. Had Jill Clayburgh's character spent a little more time paying attention to her family ... Read More Rating:  - enigma and funOf course Erica's husband does not come back to her - this is a story of a divorce, not a story about how baaaad divorcesd are and that we should all stay in flawed marriages. And of course Erica does not go with Saul: hey remain lovers, but it will take a lot for her to move in with another man. Maybe the 80s will make her do this...but I doubt it. A beautiful movie that also introduces New York City life to movies. But the dialogue between the girlfriends really sucks! We need women writers to do ... Read More Rating: - SURVIVAL and SUCCESS re-entering SINGLEHOOD. TIMELESS!ERICA had it ALL. An adoring husband, the gorgeous Midtown NYC upper floor apt., a well adjusted and precocious teenage daughter, a fulfilling art gallery job and three gal pals in various stages of their womanhood and relationships, who convened as a spiritual support group. ONE fateful day, hubby decides to "come clean" about his relationship with his younger secretary and opt for the "easy non messy exit". This storyline is intuitive and realistic as the portrayal of grieving a "beautiful ...

That film was enchanting and humorous. Sorry, this one was neither. Browse for similar items by category:
