This Paul Mazursky film was considered pretty hot stuff when it came out in 1978 and was part of a wave of films that opened Hollywood's eyes to stories of women discovering their own identity. 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

Jill Clayburgh delivered the most memorable performance of her career as a divorced woman in this poignant 1978 drama from writer-director Paul Mazursky.
At the beginning of the film, Jill is a reasonably happy wife and mother, married to successful stock broker Michael Murphy. However, her life is shattered when Murphy suddenly announces that he is in love with another woman and wants a divorce.
Single again after seventeen years, Jill spends several weeks trying to redefine ... Read More

Having never seen this film before yesterday, I was shocked to learn that it had been nominated for an Oscar! 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 and ... Read More

Of 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 this ... Read More

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 ... Read More

I bought this film because of a film I saw years ago with Jill Clayburgh and Burt Reynolds called "Starting Over". That film was enchanting and humorous. Sorry, this one was neither.
