The Secret Lives of Dentists Reviews
Detroit Free Press
John Monaghan
There are movies that have a way of hitting you at a certain time in your life, and this study of being married with young children speaks in satisfying ways.
Arizona Republic
Bill Muller
A faultlessly constructed, artistic look at love, loss and truths we can't ignore.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Director Rudolph and writer Craig Lucas ... use a wry and compassionate touch as they present this X-ray vision of a relationship long past its annual checkup.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Steve Murray
A muted but engrossing look at marriage at a crossroads.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
A smart, understated, emotionally penetrating drama that tempts one to forgive Breakfast of Champions and Trixie.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
Rudolph's sharpest work in years.
Miami Herald
Rene Rodriguez
Scott and Davis keep you interested in the Hursts' dilemma as a couple wondering when the flame in their romance blew out, and whether or not there's any hope of rekindling it.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Dentists may not be the best movie ever made about the perils of family life, but it is among the most ruthlessly comic.
Premiere Magazine
Glenn Kenny
Intelligently written and beautifully acted throughout, it's a good, and rare, example of what we used to refer to as a movie for adults.
Orlando Sentinel
Roger Moore
It's funny, honest enough to make you squirm and a film that may make you feel a little bit of the pain on the other side of that shrieking drill.
The New Republic
Stanley Kauffmann
Rudolph's past work has been spotty, but his stress here on familial sovereignty is moving, as is his direction of the three children.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Although 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.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
That most extraordinary of achievements, the small, quiet movie that imperceptibly takes its viewers by their throats and doesn't let go until its emotionally explosive -- and equally small and quiet -- final moments.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
Mr. Rudolph's opus is already guaranteed a place on my year's 10-best list.
Slate
David Edelstein
The filmmakers manage to jazz up Smiley's tempo without losing her melancholy tone; and they find a way -- without being untrue to the book -- to make the stubbornly recessive protagonist seem a dynamo on the screen.
Observer
Rex Reed
Empty, minuscule and pointless.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
[T]his is a superb examination of a suburban marriage on the brink of collapse.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
The film presents a realistic and artful treatment of a subject not often dealt with in cinema -- and rarely with honesty. Davis and Scott respond with heartfelt, edgy performances.
New York Post
Megan Lehmann
Lacking a solid narrative beyond the worsening marital crisis, this humor-flecked domestic drama ends up relying heavily on directorial tricks such as splashes of magic realism, giving it a self-satisfied air that quickly becomes grating.
