Leave your thoughts about The Secret Lives of Dentists.
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittOne of the best pictures so far this year, marking a high point of Rudolph's career and reconfirming the extraordinary talent Mr. Campbell has shown in earlier films. Dentistry will never seem the same. |
| Your Movies (cleveland.com)Gerry ShamrayThe Secret Lives of Dentists is a darkly fascinating exam of a family in decay. |
| Village VoiceJ. HobermanUnlike those in the not dissimilar “American Beauty,” Dentists' characters are needier than the actors who play them -- and therein lies the problem. |
| Chicago TribuneMark CaroA surprisingly insightful, non-judgmental meditation on a troubled marriage-with-kids. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonAlthough this movie is highly watchable as a story, it's the wonderfully loose and believable everyday business -- overworked parents, avoided topics at dinner, precocious children -- that really solidifies the film. |

| Newark Star-LedgerStephen WhittyAn interesting, and sometimes bitterly amusing film. |
| ReelTalk Movie ReviewsBetty Jo TuckerA cross between 'Eyes Wide Shut' and 'A Beautiful Mind' -- but more compelling than either. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertDirector Alan Rudolph shows a fine sensitivity to the loneliness that can haunt a close marriage, but it's Scott's Walter Mitty-style antihero who gives the affair its aching heart. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekAn intelligent, perceptive, stylish but quietly controlled study of mid-life insecurity and marital infidelity. |
