Married Life Ratings & Reviews
Austin Chronicle
Josh Rosenblatt
One of the more ethically dubious films to come out of Hollywood in years.
Film.com
Jonathan F. Richards
Sachs combines humor, suspense, and twists of plot that keep the ground shifting under our feet.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Offers audiences movie pleasures, as well as emotionally authentic challenges.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Married Life is an engaging romance noir, a sort of updated The Postman Always Rings Twice that packs its surprises into four characters, none of them predictable.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
[Director] Sachs has assembled a stellar ensemble cast, and much of the pleasure of Married Life is watching the subtle detail the actors bring to their roles.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
This quiet, closed-in picture with its unsurprising twists and turns, lacks the steamy passion of its pulp roots.
I.E. Weekly
Amy Nicholson
Sachs and Moverman have scripted a potboiler, but unwisely kept the lid on. Their intent is wry philosophical detachment; the effect is a biting social satire gone soggy.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
It's strange. It's different. It's arresting, and it's definitely intentional. Ira Sachs knew what he wanted to do, and he's a talent worth watching.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Sirk or Billy Wilder could have done something with it. Sachs still has a ways to go.
Chicago Reader
Andrea Gronvall
A macabre comedy of manners with the sting of dry ice, this 2007 ensemble piece captures the social climate of America in the late 40s.
Chicago Tribune
Tasha Robinson
Married Life is structured like a Douglas Sirk melodrama or a Hitchcock thriller rather than a mystery, but it's a mystery nonetheless, because it's rarely clear what Sachs intends the movie to be.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
You may not like it if you insist on counting the deck after the game and coming up with 52. But if you get 51 and are amused by how the missing card was made to vanish, this may be a movie to your liking.
TIME Magazine
Richard Corliss
It's only about as interesting as...married life.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
Cooper and Clarkson are sublime in creating a marriage still filled with tenderness, even as they lie to each other with breezy consistency.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
While I respect what Sachs is attempting to do, and while fleeting moments here and there kept me thoroughly enraptured, by the time it was over I found myself frustratingly disappointed almost beyond words.
Slate
Dana Stevens
A playful riff on film noir that starts by upending every '40s movie cliché.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Married Life, a period comedy of manners merged with a suspenseful psychological thriller, aspires to be a hybrid of the sort that Alfred Hitchcock polished to perfection.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Just when things should be boiling over, the script goes lukewarm.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
This subtle dance around morality is as seductive as the elegantly designed rooms it takes place in, where even the shadows are cozy.
Los Angeles Times
Carina Chocano
Maybe it is about compromise, after all, because though Married Life has its moments, it's bewildering as a whole.
