Critic Reviews for Between Us

All Critics (10) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (5) | Rotten (5)

What's left is an unpleasant visit with a pair of hateful married couples who, in due time, prove mirror images of one another. Symmetry has rarely been so dispiriting.

The play-turned-film about marital friction is no Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

Hollywood Reporter
Between Us is Edward Albee's classic play "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" regifted in new wrapping paper.

The Reader (Omaha, NE)
A delightfully mean spirited exercise that blurs the lines of love and hate, friends and enemies.

This is what happens when artists with the best of intentions run up against the worst of artistic impulses.

An attempt to gain insight into the complex, complicated, and often contradictory ways each and every one of us behave.

"Between Us" is a showcase for great actors who could have used more consistent material to springboard off of.

Rob Thomas
Madison Movie
Mirvish has taken an interesting approach to this story of two couples and four friends (often enemies) that love, loathe, betray, and -- in the end -- reflect each other deeply.

Between Us is strongly recommended for best friends, married couples, and those contemplating marriage at some future date.

Audience Reviews for Between Us

Dec 16, 2014

A delicate and profoundly complex character study that finds a most perfect balance between melancholy and humor, with multidimensional characters (played by some excellent actors), an elegant, fluid direction and a spontaneous dialogue that feels like entirely improvised.
