This film is very poignant. It's very dated, but it was set in a time where sexual freedom was very experimental and nearly every male wasn't looking for a long term relationship, or so it seemed (think Studio 54). The main character is a tortured soul who comes to the realization that she had been lied to as a child about a congenital defect that she is affected with that was passed on by her father. She has a huge scar from the surgery to correct the defect that keeps grabbing attention whenever she is intimate with a partner. As she becomes a young adult her attitude towards life changes 180 degrees. She loses sight of what she considers very important to her in life. Eventually she patronizes seedy joints and meets seedy characters. One character she met was definitely the wrong type and in the end of the film she pays for her encounter with this person. This film is based on a novel which is based on a true life experience. LOOKING FOR MR. GOODBAR is a very sad and very difficult film to watch, but it's an EXCELLENT movie. A woman who leads a double life. When is it coming out on DVD?Read full review
I remembered seeing this movie back when I was too young to be seeing a movie like this...But somehow, I never forgot it...Or did I? It's not like I remembered it to be at all! But that is what made it so much fun this time around, because it was like seeing a whole new movie. Granted, it is a 70's flick, and it is bordering on being "artsy", but the storyline of drug addiction, meeting all the wrong people at the right time, and the inner struggle that comes with the "fast lifestyle" are still all very prevalent and timeless issues. For it's time, this is a well-done movie, but make sure you pay attention, or you will have no idea what is going on after a while!
This movie is a great storyline and it really happens like this. Has a young Tom Berenger in a roll he would like to forget ..haha overall good watching
