When dominating interior designer Eve (Geraldine Page) and her husband, Arthur (E.G. Marshall), split after decades of marriage, it comes as a shock to their adult daughters -- tightly wound author Renata (Diane Keaton), struggling actress Joey (Mary Beth Hurt) and flighty Flyn (Kristin Griffith) -- as does Arthur's new romance with a vibrant artist (Maureen Stapleton). This was writer-director Woody Allen's first dramatic feature, and the first of his films in which he did not act.

The people in Woody Allen’s Interiors are destroyed by the repressiveness of good taste, and so is the picture.

4/4

Allen, whose comedies have been among the cheerful tonics of recent years, is astonishingly assured in his first drama.

3/4

Even if it ofttimes plays like the Ingmar Bergman imitation it most assuredly remains, it’s redeemed by some powerhouse sequences and some potent performances.

Interiors is an embalmed family, dissected and taxidermied. [Full review in Spanish]

3/4

Its dramatic elements may feel a bit disjointed, but Allen's mastery of dialogue and character detail keep Interiors from slipping too deeply into self-seriousness.

A toe dipped in the water of 'serious' drama hammers home its message and seems to undo the point of the 'lighter' films (as Wilde said, take the light things seriously and the serious things lightly), binding us into the characters' existential melancholy to the point where you might want to shout 'look just get over it!'

aN interesting film to consider on mothers day. it's easy to write it off as an inept effort at bergman however by the end of the film allen's auteurial voice shines by way of his treatment of the characters. at face value it serves as a fly on the wall expose of a family of cringeworthy cerebral aesthetes with constant bouts of EXISTENTIAL dread. but what elevates it beyond a mere examination of spoiled intellectuals staring deep into the void is the character of maureen stapleton, whose pearl serves as a foil to the family's cynical nature and geraldine page's inadequate mother figure in particular. pearl essentially arrives and by way of her care free, compassionate nature takes the family's cerebral self indulgence and says: shut up. this is what ultimately redeems the film from serving as an inadequate attept at classic bergman and elevates it to a significant and fitting puzzle piece in allen's directorial milieu. Anyway i hope that makes some sense to people. just my take on it....

An intriguing and unsettling film, wonderful character development. Subtlety that delivered an emotional and thought provoking punch that lingered with me. Awkward moments and family tension were close to home. I can highly recommend this film

#WOODYALLENRETRO PODCAST PROJECT Bit of a sharp turn in the filmography but still alot to like, good acting, interesting dialogue and uncomfortable yet mature story - the constant drab tone can feel a bit unnatural but since its a purposfuly made homage to igmar bergman type it can be forgiven - maybe not for everyone but an older crowd will probably appreciate more - good diversity for woody to tackle
