Reviews for Husbands and Wives
With excellent performances (Davis and Pollack in particular), it's his finest film since Hannah and Her Sisters.
02/09/06
It doesn't suffer from the compulsive tidiness of some of Allen's later movies -- the juices are flowing, the hysteria is closer to the surface -- and in this looser, more volatile atmosphere his extraordinary cast gets to soar.
10/18/08
The acting is top notch.
11/13/03
Examines the ways the soul of a marriage can be sustained or shattered by change and conflict.
08/23/02
Woody Allen's Husbands and Wives is a very fine, sometimes brutal comedy about a small group of contemporary New Yorkers.
05/20/03
Top Critic...A far more complex and satisfying essay on the subject of infidelity than the overpraised Hannah and Her Sisters.
03/31/02
Husbands and Wives comes close to the exquisite stuff of art.
01/01/00
What Husbands and Wives argues is that many "rational" relationships are actually not as durable as they seem, because somewhere inside every person is a child crying me! me! me!
01/01/00
Top CriticThis last waltz between America's most prestigious film couple has a tone of muted regret, not confession or sensationalism.
09/24/07
Ten years ago, Husbands and Wives played second fiddle to Woody Allen's all-media split with Mia Farrow.
04/28/02
One of Allen’s most criminally underappreciated films.
03/05/02
Allen is in top form here.
01/01/00
Excellent performances from Pollack and Davis in particular, make this one of Woody's finest of the 90s.
03/23/09
Top CriticIt's fun to watch, interesting to hear, and revelatory to discuss.
01/01/00
Allen, the schlemiel, has humiliated himself and hurt his family, disillusioned his fans and become a case in point for the GOP, but he has also hit upon an issue that is universally applicable.
01/01/00
Top CriticToo bad that the Allen-Farrow scandal erupted before this movie for it's one of Allen's best serio comedies with wonderful performances (particularly Judy Davis), but questions of life imitating art or art imitating life are inevitable while watching it
10/26/06
In all respects, this is a full meal, as it deals with the things of life with intelligence, truthful drama and rueful humor.
03/23/09
Top CriticBleak yet strangely compelling look at modern romance.
05/06/06
This is one of Woody's best films, but it's also extremely bitter.
