What critics compared An Unmarried Woman to
In the inadvertent one, the film pays bizarre homage to, of all things, the feminist touchstone film “An Unmarried Woman” by having Christian sitting at a piano and singing Paul McCartney’s “Maybe I’m Amazed” just as Jill Clayburgh did in the earlier film, effectively taking the single whitest scene in film history and somehow making it even whiter in the process.
The early part of the film is like a slicker version of Paul Mazursky's An Unmarried Woman (1978).
This establishes the social structure for visitors who will be under the domain of Head butler Jennings (Alan Bates, "An Unmarried Woman").
Watching The Worst Person in the World , my mind traipsed toward another coming-of-age film: the 1978 Paul Mazursky–helmed classic An Unmarried Woman .

So I would be a fool to expect Roberts to walk off on her own like Ellen Burstyn did in “Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore” or Jill Clayburgh did in “An Unmarried Woman.”
