Gabe and Judy Roth (Woody Allen and Mia Farrow), a long-married couple, find their relationship starting to crumble when their best friends, Jack and Sally (Sydney Pollack and Judy Davis), announce that they are separating. Allen's use of a hand-held camera and jump-cuts adds immediacy to a brilliant display of ensemble acting. Pollack delivers an Oscar-worthy performance. [More]

Reviews for Husbands and Wives
Allen's conception of character is as banal and shallow as ever, but the lively performances of some of his actors and the novelty of the film's style make this more watchable than many of his features.
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!
This last waltz between America's most prestigious film couple has a tone of muted regret, not confession or sensationalism.
Too 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
Excellent performances from Pollack and Davis in particular, make this one of Woody's finest of the 90s.
...A far more complex and satisfying essay on the subject of infidelity than the overpraised Hannah and Her Sisters.
Thought of as Woody Allen's artistic comeback. A wonderful exploration of relationships.
Woody Allen's latest movie, Husbands and Wives, is one of his best films and is a fascinating look at the breakup of two people.
What makes the film truly memorable turns out to be Judy Davis's spiky performance as a perfectionist determined not to let her divorce undo her tidy little world.
