Wallace Avery hates his job. His ex-wife and son hate him, and he's blown his one shot at living his dream. Not wanting to face all this, he stages his own death and buys himself a new identity as Arthur Newman. However, Arthur's road trip towards anew life is interrupted by the arrival of the beautiful but fragile Mike, who is also trying to leave her past behind. Drawn to one another, these two damaged souls begin to connect as they break into empty homes and take on the identities of the absent owners: elderly newlyweds, a high-roller and his Russian lady, among others. Through this process, Arthur and Mike discover that what they love most about each other are the identities they left at home, and their real journey, that of healing, begins.
Leave your thoughts about Arthur Newman.
| Fresno BeeRick BentleyFirth's performance alone would have been enough to hail this film by director Dante Ariola. Toss in an equally powerful performance by Blunt, and the film turns to a masterwork of acting. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfAriola can't keep the proceedings moving forward, wallowing in the blue mood for far too long. It makes a decent movie with something to share about the exhaustion of defense mechanisms into a slog that leaves its actors high and dry. |
| honeycuttshollywood.comKirk HoneycuttAriola is genuinely into character, making sure you get enough glimpses into the lives of these people so you may glean a sense of what ails these damaged souls. |
| Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreThis is more “Something Mild” than “Something Wild.” But Firth and Blunt handle their characters’ many revelations with care and play with layers of hurt and disappointment with great sympathy and pathos. |
| COED.comPhil VillarrealOK, so hear me out. This movie is about Colin Firth having hot, dress-up sex with this drifter named Mike. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordAcademy-award winner Colin Firth seems to be doing someone a favor by agreeing to play Walter Avery/Arthur Newman. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordWhen Firth first falls into his tattered seductress's game, he changes so violently into the arduous lover, it feels false, an acting exercise, which is all this movie really adds up to. |
| Chicago ReaderDrew HuntFor the most part, the film is very basic, a simple drama about the dangers of avoiding responsibility, but there are occasional flairs of eccentricity. |
| Tolucan TimesTony MedleyA strange film about dysfunctional people directed with good pace by Dante Ariola in his feature film debut highlighted by fine performances by Colin Firth and Emily Blunt. |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerIs it possible to truly start life all over again? Arthur Newman might have been better if it had not started at all. |
