The Man of My Life Ratings & Reviews
Boston Globe
Mark Feeney
he film has a loose, easy rhythm befitting its sun-splashed look.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
A sumptuously illustrated but shallow fable of the grass-is-greener conflict between freedom and commitment.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
The Man of My Life has a hard time working up much beyond its visual prettiness.
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
If the film ultimately amounts to little more than a midlife coming-of-age story, it's richly imagined and filled with fanciful touches that are in keeping with its passionate subject.
Filmcritic.com
Don Willmott
Ultimately, there aren't any pointed conclusions about the meaning of life here other than the rather obvious one that under the still waters of an idyllic Provencal river, the currents run deep
Slant Magazine
Eric Henderson
The film, a purported examination of male sexuality, was directed and written by women, and thus all we get is two super-sensitive men stroking each others' emotional baggage instead of licking each others' *****.
Reel.com
Pam Grady
It is beautiful, but ultimately empty and a little bit boring.
Boxoffice Magazine
Ed Scheid
Director 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.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Despite good acting and intriguing theme, attraction of married hetero to his gay neighbor, the film feels familiar, from its countryside setting to stereotypical treatment of the homosexual; French title, Man of Her Life, is more accurate and ironic, too
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
It is the unique pleasures to be found in The Man of My Life that are what linger.
Murphy's Movie Reviews
Ted Murphy
Although 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.

...felt like making a discovery...
Village Voice
Abigail Deutsch
All too often, though, characters bandy about platitudes like they're tennis balls...or shout for no reason.
Variety
David Rooney
A drama that steadily succumbs to self-conscious artiness, drunk on its own sense of contrived poetry and cloudy existential reflection.
New York Press
Armond White
The 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 Andr Tchin film great.
Film Journal International
David Noh
A special, often beautiful and profound film.
european-films.net
Boyd van Hoeij
There is a terrific film hiding away in these two hours of good (but not great) artistic melodrama.
