Drama Brilliant philosophy lecturer Marion Post has asked for sabbatical leave to write a book. One day she discovers that while working in her studio she can hear the psychoanalysis sessions taking place in the next door surgery. A patient’s moving confessions lead her to make an in-depth analysis of her own life, finding it to be empty, based on self-deception and the fear of emotion.

	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"Film is the most voyeuristic medium, but rarely have I experienced this fact more sharply than while watching Woody Allen's Another Woman (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Variety	"Film that emerges is brave, in many ways fascinating, and in all respects of a caliber rarely seen."	POS
United States	Vincent Canby The New York Times	"Mr. Allen is becoming an immensely sophisticated director, but this screenplay is in need of a merciless literary editor."	NEU
United States	Joe Brown The Washington Post	"The storytelling is fluid and dramatic -- almost theatrical -- the film glows with light and the design is economically artful."	POS
United Kingdom	Tim Robey Telegraph	"One of [Allen's] shortest, least funny, and very best films."	POS
United Kingdom	Kim Newman Empire	"Poised, beautiful and elegant, but as dead as a butterfly in a case (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Time Out	"[It] shows a refinement and development of recurrent Allen themes (...) Rowlands perfectly pitched approach to a demanding role is particularly stunning."	POS
United States	Rita Kempley The Washington Post	"Allen lends pretension; he's as tiresome as the movie-line snob he ripped in "Annie Hall." (...) Once again, [he] has mistaken unfunny for serious"	NEG
United States	TV Guide	"Full of the hand-wringing and self-consciously intellectual exchanges that characterize Allen's Bergmanesque outings, [it] benefits from a superb ensemble cast (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
