“To her father, Theresa was a dutiful daughter. To the children she taught, Theresa brought warmth and hope. To the men she met in bars, Theresa was easy. All kinds of people loved Theresa. Diane Keaton plays Theresa in Looking for Mr. Goodbar.”

Drama

A short, unhappy affair with a married man leads a dedicated schoolteacher into the alcohol-and-drug fueled underworld of singles’ bars, where she begins to engage in a pattern of dangerous sexual activity.

VIBE

This film feels like a descent into a lonely, anxious night. It's a raw, unsettling look at desperation and the dark side of sexual fantasy, set against the backdrop of a pulsating, yet hollow, disco era.
