into a similar situation as Isak Borg: both characters reexamine their life after friends and family accuse them of being cold and unfeeling. The film has many of Allen's signature features, particularly the New York City setting; only a few scenes are shot outside the city, in the Hamptons. It also uses classical music (Claude Debussy's orchestral arrangement of Erik Satie's Gymnopédie No. 1, renamed Gymnopédie No. 3), and poetry (Rainer Maria Rilke's "Archaic Torso of Apollo") to serve its narrative, as do earlier and later films such as Hannah and Her Sisters, Crimes and Misdemeanors, and Husbands and Wives. It focuses primarily on upper middle class intellectuals, as nearly all of Allen's 1980s films do. Reception Another Woman received modest praise from critics and holds a 59% positive "Rotten" rating on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes from 27 reviews. Tim Robey of The Daily Telegraph called the film "one of [Allen's] shortest, least funny, and very best films". Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times similarly praised the film, awarding it a full four stars and writing, "Allen's film is not a remake of Wild Strawberries in any sense, but a meditation on the same theme: the story of a thoughtful person, thoughtfully discovering why she might have benefitted from being a little less thoughtful." Variety praised the film as "brave, in many ways fascinating, and in all respects of a caliber rarely seen." Vincent Canby of The New York Times was more critical of the film, remarking, "Everyone speaks slightly stilted, epistolary dialogue. The rounded sentences sound as if they'd been written in a French influenced by Flaubert, then translated into English by a lesser student of Constance Garnett." He added, "Mr. Allen is becoming an immensely sophisticated director, but this screenplay is in need of a merciless literary editor. It's full of an earnest teen-age writer's superfluous words, in addition to flashbacks and a dream sequence that contain material better dealt with in the film's contemporary narrative." Modern reception is often more favorable. It was ranked 13th among Allen's works in a Time Out contributors' poll, with editor Dave Calhoun considering it "further proof that some of Woody’s finest films are those that drop the kvetching men to explore troubled women". It was 19th in Chris Nashawaty's list for Entertainment Weekly. The Daily Telegraph film critics Robbie Collin and Tim Robey named Another Woman the director's fourth-greatest film,
