The Artist's Wife Ratings & Reviews
RogerEbert.com
Glenn Kenny
The Artist's Wife wastes compassion on a character who has earned only the minimum.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
This cinematic portrait unfortunately never feels realistic or fully fleshed-out.
New York Post
Johnny Oleksinski
The final scene leaves you thinking: For a film about a woman recovering her lost identity, it doesn't really have much of its own.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Christy Lemire
Lovely acting, but that's about it.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
[A]n absorbing, at times moving look at a woman caught between her own artistic and emotional desires and her devotion to a man who doesn't seem to deserve her.
Variety
Joe Leydon
Lena Olin and Bruce Dern Excel in Tom Dolby's Drama About a Couple Coping With the Husband's Alzheimer's
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Even Olin is unable to salvage this pulpy portrait of a onetime artist who has laid aside her own talents to enable those of her husband.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Dolby provides Dern with a chance to be cranky and vicious, but what else is new? The revelation here is Lena Olin, who gets her best role in years...
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Terrific performances help overcome narrative deficiencies.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
Alas, it opts for plangency, with a musical score applied like a gentle balm, and a plot that hungers for healing-absurdly so, given the incurable nature of Richard's plight.
San Francisco Examiner
Jeffrey M. Anderson
It's not difficult to see where "The Artist's Wife" is going. It gets there with a soft, syrupy piano score..., with Dolby's pretty compositions; and characters forever posed in front of gorgeous art or architecture.
Denerstein Unleashed
Robert Denerstein
In sum: a quietly disappointing effort.
AARP Movies for Grownups
Tim Appelo
Olin and Dern... are perfect together.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Lael Loewenstein
A really beautiful portrait of a relationship.
We Are Movie Geeks
Cate Marquis
The Artist's Wife is an imperfect movie rescued from forgettable by the perfect performances of Lena Olin and Bruce Dern.
Entertainment Voice
Alci Rengifo
The emotions are powerfully put on screen by two great veterans.
Killer Movie Reviews
Andrea Chase
By refusing to compromise about life's messiness, it makes an art of chaos in elegantly composed vignettes filmed with a chilly beauty, and gives us an ending that is maddening, yet absolutely true.
North Shore Movies
Daniel M. Kimmel
[Olin's] dignity and grace helps raise this to more than just another film about dealing with someone in gradual decline. It becomes a tribute to soldiering on.
What She Said
Anne Brodie
It's a melancholic and quiet film, and it's also elegant and beautiful like Claire.
The Weekend Warrior (Substack)
Edward Douglas
A really nice movie - and honestly, another one I'm shocked isn't being distributed by Sony Pictures Classics!
