Leave your thoughts about The Man of My Life.
| New York TimesStephen HoldenThe Man of My Life is a sumptuously illustrated but shallow fable of the grass-is-greener conflict between freedom and commitment. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordIt is the unique pleasures to be found in The Man of My Life that are what linger. |
| New York PressArmond WhiteThe most visually resplendent movie so far this year (photographed by Michel Amathieu), yet it lacks the rich balance of sex and intellect that makes an André Téchiné film great. |
| european-films.netBoyd van HoeijThere is a terrific film hiding away in these two hours of good (but not great) artistic melodrama. |
| Murphy's Movie ReviewsTed MurphyAlthough the actors try gamely, they cannot fully rescue THE MAN OF MY LIFE from its flaws. There's a germ of a very good idea in the screenplay, but I just don't feel that the writers fully grasped what they were undertaking. |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohA special, often beautiful and profound film. |
| Boxoffice MagazineEd ScheidDirector Zabou Breitman, who co-wrote the screenplay, maintains intrigue by regularly cutting back to scenes from the overnight conversation between Frederic and Hugo, adding new insights to the growing friendship. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsThe Man of My Life has a hard time working up much beyond its visual prettiness. |
| Boston GlobeMark Feeneyhe film has a loose, easy rhythm befitting its sun-splashed look. |
| Village VoiceAbigail DeutschThe film's arresting beauty--shots of a curtain blowing into a shadowed stairwell, or a meadow of sunflowers, or a head resting on a shoulder--is nearly enough. |
