Sue plot
"A Woman in New York"
Sue (Anna Levine) is a lonely thirty-something woman in New York. She seems to have it all; she is sympathetic, intelligent, has humor and is beautiful, but life is against her. She is lonely and unemployed, she has a rent debt and everything she does seems to err. Only during her job interviews does she give the impression that she still has control over her life. But once on the street or at home on the couch, she is nowhere. Sue fights the loneliness in vain. She is desperate for contact.

A big compliment to the leading actress who knows how to portray a complex character excellently, because Sue is not only lonely but especially has difficulty making the right choices, the difference between what is valuable and what is superficial, and falls from one state of mind to the other. One consequence is that she no longer believes in herself and no longer has confidence in others, even if they mean well.
Film that surprises and occasionally dismays (the opening scene in the park with Willie, the cinema scene,...) and inevitably makes you think. Isn't there a point of comparison in what celebrities, for example from the cinema world, sometimes experience: sufficient professional and superficial contact but still feel lonely and misunderstood?
Filmmaker Amos Kollek was completely unknown to me.

Wow, what a deeply sad film this is. Beautifully played but so gray, so lonely. Pffff, hard to recover after a movie like that. After 23 years, those images look ancient, with the clothing, that headscarf, the telephones and job interviews. The atmosphere of loneliness and self-destruction remains intact.

A little less convinced than most here. A more than decent film, but not a film that I felt like I had seen anything special. Everything revolves around the character Sue. A character that is difficult to understand. How pathetic and filled with self-pity. Loneliness is central to her life and she is not really managing it relationally or professionally.
She keeps people who really mean her well at a distance and at the same time she has no problem semi-prostituting herself. It just goes on like that for the next 80 minutes. Good acting, but I didn't feel involved enough with the character to really empathize.
A film that is quite plainly decorated, even a bit old-fashioned. By the way, I estimated the film to be 15 years older. But it does fit in with the atmosphere and events of the main character.
