I saw "Woman" in the theater and I was blown away by Rowlands' performance, but when I watched the movie later on, I realized that her performance was the only asset. The one positive thing I can say is that "Woman" is a cut above Cassavetes' "Faces" and "Husbands," thanks to Miss Rowlands.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532919555669007677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823340817818385797.post-87761625097165223942017-09-28T11:05:53.488-07:002017-09-28T11:05:53.488-07:00Unsure why the rating would cause any confusion.

Hence a mediocre rating. It's a respectable film that is not for every taste.By Peter Hansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11385971732301020652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823340817818385797.post-29941311528926865822017-09-27T17:45:19.769-07:002017-09-27T17:45:19.769-07:00I highly disagree with your review, which I will s...I highly disagree with your review, which I will state later, but reading your review, I am confused with your rating.

Like with the previous year's "Scarecrow," I'm just not a fan of long, rambling improvisation. It may be excitingly exploratory for the actors, but it gets old very fast for me the viewer. Scorsese's "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore," also of 1974, is the one to watch, as far as the Year-of-the-Woman genre for that particular era goes.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04411734031248578085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823340817818385797.post-18265823213505492102013-03-18T23:22:36.843-07:002013-03-18T23:22:36.843-07:00I guess I'm me four.
