Girlfriends (1978)

1978 · Movie · 88 min. · United States

Fat and insecure Jewish photographer Melanie Mayron tries to cope with love, a career and personal independence after her room-mate leaves to get married. She encourages a lesbian to stay, and has affairs with a married rabbi (Eli Wallach) and a professor (Christopher Guest). Weill started her film career with a $10,000 grant from the American Film Institute, augmented by friends of the director. This enabled her to turn out a warmly observed semi-autobiographical comedy of human relationships. After winning in the first edition of the Toronto Film Festival, the film was released by WB, and got a Golden Globe nomination for Anita Skinner (for best female acting debut).
