Gena Rowlands stars as a university professor who, after turning 50, begins to re-evaluate her relationships with stepdaughter Martha Plimpton and old friend Sandy Dennis (reuniting in the West Village, including at a pre-renovation Chumley’s) while privy to stranger Mia Farrow’s therapy sessions. One of Allen’s most effective excursions into drama—shot accordingly by Ingmar Bergman cinematographer Sven Nykvist.
