Both Yvan Attal and Charlotte Gainsborough are thoroughly appealing, as their unblinking honesty and openness shines through even the film’s silliest bits.

Attal's hang-ups surrounding infidelity are so old-fashioned and, dare I say, outdated, it's a wonder that he couldn't have brought something fresher to the proceedings simply by accident.

Never less than clever and often digs down into some uncomfortable realities about the strange lives of that odd species known as 'movie people.'

"My Wife is an Actress" blends elements of fiction and reality, shakes them up and hopes for the best.

Attal pushes too hard to make this a comedy or serious drama. He seems to want both, but succeeds in making neither.

Starts off witty and sophisticated and you want to love it -- but filmmaker Yvan Attal quickly writes himself into a corner.

Not only is this material slight, it also seems ridiculously padded.

I found it slow, predictable and not very amusing.

A funny valentine to show business and marriage, an inside joke that plays humorously for anybody to grasp.
