Girlfriends is a 1978 American comedy drama film produced and directed by Claudia Weill and written by Vicki Polon.

The film stars Melanie Mayron as Susan Weinblatt, a Jewish photographer who experiences loneliness once her roommate Anne (Anita Skinner) moves out of their apartment in New York City.

[4][5][6] Photographer Susan Weinblatt supports herself by shooting baby pictures, weddings, and bar mitzvahs while she aims for an exhibit of her work in a gallery.

A review in Variety wrote, "This is a warm, emotional and at times wise picture about friendship, a film deserving of a wide audience.

"[10] Gene Siskel of the Chicago Tribune gave the film 3 stars out of 4 and called it "a nice little picture" that "plays out its drama in an episodic, European style – small vignettes leading forward in time.

"[11] Charles Champlin of the Los Angeles Times described it as "a candid, intelligent, informed, affectionate, deeply affecting and wryly funny examination of the lives of young career women in Manhattan now.

"[12] Gary Arnold of The Washington Post wrote that the film "suffers from such a threadbare screenplay and tentative personality that one can't help marveling at its shlumpy appeal.

"[13] Geoff Brown of The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote, "The clarity of Weill's focus, along with the witty script and keen performances, keeps Girlfriends for the most part likeably spry and intelligent.

The website's critics consensus reads, "Intelligently written and beautifully acted, Girlfriends captures the rhythms of female friendship – and late '70s New York – with a deftly assured hand.

The set contains a new 4K restoration, as well as new special features, including cast and crew interviews, two short films: Joyce at 34 and Commuters, theatrical trailer, and essays by critic Molly Haskell and scholar Carol Gilligan.
