7/10
Frenetic and Disturbing
18 August 2013
Warning: Spoilers
Starring Diane Keaton in a wild movie of debauchery and rabidness, "Looking for Mr. Goodbar" is certainly no bore of a movie. Directed by the late Richard Brooks, and transferred from a novel this movie moves along and sometimes feels repetitive, probably because the Keaton character keeps looking for the wrong types of men and getting more than she can handle. She is the good girl unfulfilled and always going for the bad-boys. The movie features a jazzy, 70s track and delves into sexual content thoroughly. Richard Gere, is in for a bit in precursor role to his American Gigolo stint a few years later. (spoiler) Without giving too much away, the end certainly surprises, and is as well done as it is disturbing. Totally frenetic and worthy watch - 7/10
