barbara l Love this movie. Wish I could see it again. Very realistic honest account of a woman who loses her marriage and finds herself again. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/06/23 Full Review Isla E An Unmarried Woman should have been unseen by my tender eyes. However I have to say it was a really good movie even for a child under 11. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/01/23 Full Review Audience Member In 2022 this film seems a tad dated. However, being a "70s person," I feel it captures the era in an almost time capsule-like approach. The setting, the music, and the "women vs. status quo" storyline are very realistic for 1978. Personally, I think Jill Clayburgh deserved the Oscar for Best Actress. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review jaime h I love this film. Excellent cast and crew! Wonderful movie of its era, and timeless story to boot! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Love this film. Jill Clayburgh is brilliant is this touching, funny, nuanced exploration of a film by Paul Mazursky. This film was right on time when it came out, and still holds up today. A must see Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Thoroughly independent in its financing and creation, An Unmarried Woman nevertheless has a certain tactile urban scope that opens the movie beyond what could, in other hands, be a walled-in drama. Critically, it goes down more the way a comedy would; somehow light on its ballet feet and altogether digestible, but devoid of one-liners or gags. This is Mazursky's ingenious touch as writer/director. Paraphrasing author Sam Wasson in his new, brief video interview contained on the recent Criterion Blu-ray edition as a bonus feature, Mazursky wasn't the most cinematic of filmmakers, nor was he the funniest. But he understood human ticks and foibles in raw, real, and subtle ways, and knew how to put his actors at ease enough to deliver these key things through their performances. At the same time, it's a tight film, devoid of that "improv-y" decompression that haunts the work of Judd Apatow and other later filmmakers who sometimes lean into his style.
