Exceptional tale of a family in crisis; cursing, alcoholism.
Meg Ryan gives a solid peformance in this flawed melodrama about alcoholics
There won't be a dry eye in the house. Just sublime.
Salutes the inner work that must be done to keep alive the sacred dimensions of love and commitment.
Audience Reviews for When a Man Loves a Woman
Meg Ryan really freaked me out in a hot-mess kind of way.
Super Reviewer
not good acting plot was lacking. too slow and to serious.
Super Reviewer
MegRyan continues to be one of my favourite actresses and this movie is proof why. Andy Garcia also excelled as a loyal husband helping his wife get through her troubles.

When a Man Loves a Woman Quotes
| Michael Green: | My wife is an alcoholic. Best person I ever met. She has 600 different smiles. They can light up your life. They can make you laugh out loud, just like that. They can even make you cry, just like that. That's just with her smiles. You'd have to see her with her kids. You'd have to see how they look at her, when she's not looking. To think of all the things she lives through, and I couldn't help her. |
| Alice Green: | It's horrifying how much you can hate yourself for being low and weak and he couldn't save me from that. So I turned it on him; I tried to empty it onto him. But there was always more, you know. When he tried to help I told him that he made me feel small and worthless. But nobody makes us feel that, we do that for ourselves. I shut him out because I knew if he ever really saw who I was inside, that he wouldn't love me. And we're separated now, he's moved away, and it was so hard not to beg him to stay. And I don't know if I'm going to get a second chance but I have to believe. That I deserve one. Because we all do. |
| Alice Green: | I think I could love you again if you could, for once, say 'I don't know.' |
