Reviews for Husbands and Wives
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 CriticExcellent performances from Pollack and Davis in particular, make this one of Woody's finest of the 90s.
03/23/09
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.
03/23/09
Top CriticIt 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.

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
10/26/06
Bleak yet strangely compelling look at modern romance.
05/06/06
With excellent performances (Davis and Pollack in particular), it's his finest film since Hannah and Her Sisters.

One of [Woody Allen's] greatest films.
11/08/04
Allen in moderately experimental mode. Good, but not one of his best.
11/20/03
The acting is top notch.

08/22/03
This is one of Woody Allen's best films to date, combining some of his finest serious writing about relationships, in the style of Hannah and her Sisters, with humor that's all the more effective thanks to its dark, edgy context.
07/30/03
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 CriticWoody Allen's latest movie, Husbands and Wives, is one of his best films and is a fascinating look at the breakup of two people.
03/23/03
Thought of as Woody Allen's artistic comeback. A wonderful exploration of relationships.
