Kyle Nov 18, 2025 Don’t think I’ve ever been in a theater where everyone one says in unison “Holy shit what the fuck” at an ending See more Roberta R @Roberta-k9 Jun 19, 2026 I remember watching this movie back in the '70s when it first came out. At the time I kind of liked it, so I just watched it again. Now I wonder why I ever thought I liked it. I must have been mistaken. It is a typical 70’s movie – VERY dated - with a lot of nudity and sex but not much plot. The deal is this – a young woman from a religious family who teaches deaf children during the day spends her time trolling sleazy bars at night picking up sleazy men to have sex with. Predictably, the last one she picks up kills her. At least, thank goodness, her murder brought this movie to an end. This was Richard Gere’s first movie – so if you are a fan of his it might be worth watching. Other than that, I suggest you take a pass.

The whole 1970's sex scene along with drug abuse shows us how crazy things could get. It's clear she has issues stemming from her childhood and in present day she's still having those same problems. It was interesting to see a young gere,berenger and atherton. All three cross paths with Keaton's character. I absolutely enjoyed this movie but it was a tough last act to watch.

See more Diane B @RT34050899 Nov 1, 2025 I saw this years ago and thought it was due for a rewatch. I’d read the novel as well as the article about the true crime that Judith Rossner used as inspiration. The film strangely looks cheap, especially the dream/flashbacks sequences. Keaton does a great job with the role of Theresa, whose vulnerability shines through. However, the other actors seem as though they’re in another film. Richard Kiley and Tuesday Weld are so annoying with their ham fisted performances and over the top reactions that it plays out more like a 70s tv soap. Still, it’s fun to see a very young LeVar Burton and a hot 1970s Richard Gere on screen. See more matt p @RT09790479 Aug 26, 2025 mr goodbar deals with a subject that is totally taboo in hollywood cinema...specifically female sexual desire. keaton gives a mesmerizing and heartbreaking performance as a dedicated teacher by day//by night she is a thrill seeking disco frequenter. Remember it is the 1970s so her young single pretty women on her own is hardly an outlier in her hedonistic behavior.the supporting cast is very good but it is Keaton who manages to be sweet/bitter... happy/sad.... funny/serious in a very complex role.Bravo Diane Keaton!
