Reviews for Husbands and Wives
Husbands and Wives is a comedy that explores serious themes — or perhaps a drama that is at times hysterically funny.
06/15/02
Ten years ago, Husbands and Wives played second fiddle to Woody Allen's all-media split with Mia Farrow.
04/28/02
...A far more complex and satisfying essay on the subject of infidelity than the overpraised Hannah and Her Sisters.
03/31/02
One of Allen’s most criminally underappreciated films.
03/05/02
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.
11/06/01
Husbands and Wives is a defining film for these emotionally embattled times; it's classic Woody Allen.
05/12/01
Allen is in top form here.
01/01/00
With its relationship angst and Lolita temptations, Husbands and Wives hits embarrassingly close to Allen's home. But it also hits its comic target.
01/01/00
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 CriticWhat 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 CriticHusbands and Wives comes close to the exquisite stuff of art.
01/01/00
This is one of Woody's best films, but it's also extremely bitter.
