Für die Dauer eines Forschungssemesters hat sich die attraktive Frau um die Fünfzig in eine ruhige Stadtwohnung zurückgezogen. Doch mit der geplanten vollen Konzentration auf ihre Arbeit wird es nichts. Über einem Lüftungsschacht lauscht Marion erst unfreiwillig, dann fasziniert und gespannt, den Gesprächen eines Psychiaters mit einer schwangeren jungen Frau. Angeregt von den Problemen der Patientin, ihren Ängsten und Hoffnungen, beginnt Marion, über ihr eigenes Leben nachzudenken. Ihren Mann, ihren Jugendfreund, ihre Familie und Freunde – alles sieht Marion auf einmal in einem anderen Licht. Sie beschließt, Kontakt mit der schwangeren Frau aufzunehmen. Und diese Begegnung wird ihr Leben von Grund auf verändern. (MGM Home Entertainment)

Woody Allen ist wieder ernst geworden und hat den Humor beiseite gelegt… Dieser Film ist aber (zumindest meiner Meinung nach) viel verständlicher und freundlicher als das kalte und uninteressante Werk Innenleben. Es ist bestimmt auch das Verdienst der fantastischen Gena Rowlands in der Hauptrolle. Ein sehr gefühlvoller Film mit einer schönen Musik (anders kann es ja auch nicht sein). ()
If I am keeping proper score, this is the seventeenth Woody Allen film I've seen. Among them were exceptionally good, very good, and average works, but never bad and uninteresting ones. I wouldn't dare to label Another Woman as a bad film, as it has traditionally high-quality cast and corresponding performances and a strong central theme. On the other hand, I have never been bored by any of Allen's stories, but unfortunately, this time the story of an aging woman going through a midlife crisis at the age of fifty, regretting her abortion, childlessness, decisions about love life and family relationships, simply couldn't draw me in. I prefer Woody Allen in his comedic and especially tragicomic position, which suits him better because he simply does it better. Another Woman lacks a certain comedic perspective that would have enlivened the dialogues and given the film a faster pace. Overall impression: 45%. ()
"I sat up in bed with my heart just pounding, and I looked at my husband next to me and it was as if he was a stranger and I turned the light and woke him up and I asked him to hold me...(sobs) and only after a long time did I finally get my bearings. But for one moment, earlier, it was as if a curtain had parted, and I could see myself clearly. But I was afraid of what I saw.". Some scenes can break a person down and make them look into their innermost self. With Woody Allen's brilliant female study, male viewers will have no problem. Woody, following in the footsteps of his favorite Ingmar Bergman, lets one striking female character after another make an impact and plays with metaphors. Hope (the character played by Mia Farrow is introduced by name only in the credits) takes Marion on important places where she should become aware of the key moments of her life and try to figure out their meaning. A film that can gnaw at the viewer so much that they are not entirely certain even with their closest people. ()
