Overview

Marion is a woman who has learned to shield herself from her emotions. She rents an apartment to work undisturbed on her new book, but by some acoustic anomaly she can hear all that is said in the next apartment in which a psychiatrist holds his office. When she hears a young woman tell that she finds it harder and harder to bear her life, Marion starts to reflect on her own life. After a series of events she comes to understand how her unemotional attitude towards the people around her affected them and herself.

Film that emerges is brave, in many ways fascinating, and in all respects of a caliber rarely seen.

Variety Staff, Variety
Rotten

A piece of posturing phoniness designed to awe spectators who like their psychodramas third-hand and upscale.

Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Rotten

Mr. Allen is becoming an immensely sophisticated director, but this screenplay is in need of a merciless literary editor.

Vincent Canby, New York Times
Fresh

The storytelling is fluid and dramatic -- almost theatrical -- the film glows with light and the design is economically artful.

Joe Brown, Washington Post
Rotten

Once again, Allen has mistaken unfunny for serious, feeling the breath of immortality on his shoulder.

Rita Kempley, Washington Post
