The Other Woman Reviews
Formerly known as Love And Other Impossible Pursuits, The Other Women bows into a couple theatres this weekend after being available on Video On Demand since the start of the year.
– Let’s start with some really big praise from Richard Corliss from Time Magazine, who was one of the critics who didn’t fall for Black Swan.
Tahan’s collaboration helps Portman achieve a rare intimacy with the audience in what may be her subtlest and most beguiling performance yet. I won’t say the O word, but when she gets on stage to accept her Academy Award, I’ll be thinking of The Other Woman, not Black Swan, as the work she should be proudest of.
– A.O Scott from the NY Times, also has praise for Natalie but fell more on the mixed-to-negative side of the fence.
“The Other Woman” is absorbing — at times moving — but also frustrating, relying as it does on slackly staged, overacted, two-person scenes punctuated by uninspired New York montages.
