Huntin P @PaxVobiscum80 Sep 22, 2026 An esteemed movie but not one I ever feel like revisiting. Midlife marital woe, not very funny, and a strange mix of dramatic scenes with documentary style interludes where the characters are interviewed. This was the last of Woody's 1980s gloomy period (i.e. the Mia Farrow years), after which he threw back the curtains, pulled up the sash and let all the light and warmth of his comic genius flood out again, metaphorically speaking. It is also the movie whose filming happened as the director's affair with Farrow's adopted daughter abruptly came to light. Accidentally-on-purpose, probs. Woody subsequently married Soon-Yi and they are still together today (2026), so put that in your pipe-of-age-gap-sanctimony, and smoke it! Mia, impervious to her own irony, has never stopped gunning for him. Woody compares her to Capt Ahab. As for me, a movie lead by Pollack and Davis, Allen and Farrow is rather lacking in glamour. It's a tough, honest essay on marital restlessness. Not much fun, sadly.

The documentary style of the movie, I think, makes it more interesting when looking into the lives of struggling couples in a rainy city. If you enjoy films like Marriage Story or Kramer vs Kramer that have unsteady, shaky camera work that bring a realistic tone to the story - then this is the next movie on your watchlist.

Mia Farrow? run far, far away, See more Alexsander F @Aelxs Jul 19, 2024 Um ótimo filme, arrisco-me a dizer que é o melhor filme de Woody Allen no quesito autoral, inspirador, maduro e poético. As crônicas do cotidiano são os tipos de filme e series que mais me agradam, e este filme é uma crônica do cotidiano perfeita. See more dave s @RT68722908 Feb 19, 2022 From the beginning, Husbands and Wives is unmistakably a Woody Allen film. Gabe and Judy Roth (Allen, Mia Farrow) are a seemingly happy couple who react with shock when their friends, Sally and Jack Simmons (Judy Davis, Sydney Pollack) announce their separation. From this point onwards, the film documents a menagerie of relationships either being established or falling into a state of utter disarray. The four leads are all great, the supporting cast is fantastic, and the dialogue is continually insightful. On the down side. some may find the jarring jump cuts and dizzying handheld camerawork distracting. As well, the narration and character interviews feel unnecessary and tend to disrupt the narrative at times. Despite its possible faults, it's an intelligent, bitter and insightful look at modern relationships. It is also, ironically, the last film that Allen and Farrow appeared in together.
