Movie Reviews of Husbands and Wives
Movie Review: Childish adults don't work Woody!
Summary: 2 Stars
Husbands and Wives is a film written, directed, and starring Woody Allen. I like Allen's insane writing but I just hated this 1992 drama with a passion. The characters are annoying, bitter, and childish to say the least. Judy Davis and Mia Farrow (in her last Allen film) are extremely unlikable in this film, you never root for them to find happiness. Juliette Lewis is the only actor who makes a good impression, her direct awkwardness is simply adorable. If you want a great Woody Allen film, try Annie Hall or Manhattan.
Summary of Husbands and Wives
Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 05/27/2008 Run time: 108 minutes Rating: RIn 1992, Woody Allen and Mia Farrow--heretofore the Lunt and Fontanne of Hollywood on the Hudson--went public with a media-saturated battle over Allen's affair with Farrow's adopted daughter. Only a few months later, Allen released this film, starring himself and Farrow acting out a virtually identical plot line: an unhappy marriage begins to crumble when the husband strays with a much younger woman (in this case, one of his students, played by Juliette Lewis). It turned out to be one of Allen's most lacerating comedies, a story about the fragility of relationships and the foolishness of older men seeking to recapture their youth with younger women. It features strong performances by Judy Davis, Liam Neeson, and director Sydney Pollack, as a friend of Allen's who chucks his longtime wife for an aerobics instructor, thus planting seeds of marital dissolution in all of his friends' heads. Husbands and Wives provided an uncanny peek into Allen's image of himself and his personal life, despite all of his protestations to the contrary. --Marshall Fine
