I am giving 10 stars for completely subjective reasons. I watched this movie when it came out in the 80's and loved it immediately. After having watched it several times, I almost forgot about it and when I stumbled across a copy in the in Internet (2019), I watched it again--and I am still loving it!
Mickey (a very hot Keith Carradine) comes to a nameless town after having escaped from a psychiatric hospital (diagnosed as a pathological liar). He goes to a bar named "Eve's" because he once was married to the previous owner, who had killed herself. He falls in love with the current owner, also named Eve (a very hot Lesley Ann Warren). He also meets other women, most importantly Nancy (a wonderful Geniviéve Bujold), who works as a radio sex therapist "Dr Nancy Love", giving advice to lonely hearts while she herself has some issues, specifically never having had a relationship and suffering from a sort of bipolar disease.
The whole movie feels sort of manneristic, e.g. the film starts with a street scene that looks so obviously shot on a stage it could almost be a musical. Apropos music: the story is driven by a superb soundtrack by Teddy Pendergrass.
The movie is about love, sex, truth, and deception. What I love about it is the mixture of art house movie (director Alan Rudolph is a protege of Robert Altman) and very emotional love stories.
I you have a chance to watch this movie--do it, you won't regret it!
