Woody's Best

Yes I must say this film is extraordinary. A very intricate story about the human condition.

I completely agree that this is Woody's finest. I'm not big on making lists, and love (almost) all of Woody's films, but this one strikes me to the soul each time I see it -- and I've seen it several times.

The cast is simply phenomenal in this, and it's amazing that outside of Mia Farrow, most of them are not part of Woody's "stable" of actors. Brilliant writing, amazing direction, stunning performances. This is absolutely Woody's finest films in a career that has plenty of contenders.

I like this film, but of WA's most serious works "Interiors" in my favorite. Manhattan is my favorite film, period. That's not likely to change.

It's definitely one of my favourites. I think "September", "Another Woman", and "Alice" are Woody's most under-rated films. I wish Woody could just make films forever.

It's magnificent and certainly one of his finest. I like it better than "Hannah and Her Sisters", for instance, but I think "The Purple Rose of Cairo" will always be my #1 Woody. Whether I like "Annie Hall" and "Manhattan" better than "Another Woman", only second viewings will tell.

I met this Canadian lawyer in Montréal in a very awkward situation recently, we started talking about films, I told him Woody was my favourite director, and he said "Another Woman" was his fave Woody. That only made me more curious about it. I wasn't disappointed.

I think Another Woman and Interiors are tied for Woody's best movie. I also love Hannah and Her Sisters, Deconstructing Harry, Crimes and Misdemeanors, etc. Least favorite: Alice.

I quite agree. I believe this and 'Interiors' were his most prominent and outstanding work. In both films, I hear, he tries to emulate Bergman, whom I'm not entirely familiar with. However, I did catch 'Autumn Sonata (1978)' which I thought was exquisite.

I was thinking about this movie today...and how much it means to me. I have to agree with this comment..made back in 2008. I think it is his best.

I saw the movie about 6 years ago on some cable station and I had never seen it. I was quite moved.

At the time I was a 37 year old man, but this story about a 50+ year old woman feels so relevant to me that I really can't explain it. The story could apply to anyone.

There is a feel to this movie that is so different than any type of movie I've seen in this genre. I guess it is somewhat a coming of age movie about an older woman instead of a teenager. I get the feeling that we are given a glimpse of the thoughts of someone that we wouldn't be privy to in real life.

The psychiatrist scenes again give glimpses of private thoughts.

For me, it's biggest strength is that it doesn't try to say ONE big thing caused her revelations and her eventual change. But that many incidents and happenings played into a whole that made her reevaluate her existence. And eventually made her want to change. To know she must change. To know she couldn't go on as she was.

The scene with her brother near the end and with her step daughter are moving to me in that she doesn't blame anyone...not even herself, but that she is willing to except that two people played into whatever the situation was. Her relationship with her brother and her relationship with her husband.

The scene with Sandy Dennis in the bar after the play is classic and should be used as a scene study in theatre classes across the country.

I love a lot of Woody's films. Hannah, Crimes, Husband and Wives and even Manhattan Murder Mystery.

I love this movie

I think this movie stays with me
