By Peter Rainer (2,575) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 31 Oct 2010

Review of Le Divorce (2003)

By Desson Thomson (1,673) for Washington Post (9,851) on 15 May 2009

Review of Le Divorce (2003)

By Manohla Dargis (1,909) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 13 Aug 2008

Whatever the reason, his riff on Le Divorce follows the original only in broad strokes, hewing to a similar plot with many of the same characters…

Review of Le Divorce (2003)

By Kim Morgan (275) for Portland Oregonian (2,019) on 04 Aug 2008

Scattered and silly. If it evokes any strong feelings from you, it will probably be hunger -- the food all looks so good…

Review of Le Divorce (2003)

By Kirk Honeycutt (1,481) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 25 Jan 2008

Review of Le Divorce (2003)

By Glenn Kenny (1,728) for Premiere (771) on 31 Dec 2006

The actors and acting are so attractive--as is, per usual in a Merchant Ivory production, the scenery--that the movie’s less deft handling…

Review of Le Divorce (2003)

By Paula Nechak (219) for Seattle Post-Intelligencer (2,422) on 31 May 2006

An almost too-sophisticated comedy, pitting the New World mentality and brash pugnaciousness of America against the staid arrogance of custom…

Review of Le Divorce (2003)

By David Rooney (943) for Variety (12,700) on 05 Apr 2006

This supposed comedy of manners about Americans in Paris feels artificial at every turn, its characters so devoid of backstory and nuance their…

Review of Le Divorce (2003)

By Derek Smith (382) for Apollo Guide (1,430) on 20 Jan 2005

Its annoying need to be witty, profound, funny, and charming at all times makes what could have been a smart comedy a tiresome exercise in…

Review of Le Divorce (2003)

By Owen Gleiberman (3,271) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 17 Aug 2004

Review of Le Divorce (2003)

By David Ng (26) for Village Voice (8,525) on 18 Jul 2004

Entranced by the natives, Le Divorce reduces the knowing ditziness of Johnson's novel to vapid, exchange-student wonderment…

It's difficult to find a character to connect with…

Review of Le Divorce (2003)

By John J. Puccio (1,217) for Movie Metropolis (1,779) on 22 Feb 2004

the ending does nothing to dispel the feeling that one has just wasted 117 minutes of one's life on empty gestures…

Review of Le Divorce (2003)

By Daniel M. Kimmel (1,403) for Worcester Telegram & Gazette (604) on 02 Jan 2004

Review of Le Divorce (2003)

Review of Le Divorce (2003)

By Anton Bitel (1,340) for Movie Gazette (140) on 28 Oct 2003

A polished, if inconsequential, piece of film-making, and a welcome antidote to less subtle portrayals of Franco-American relations…

Review of Le Divorce (2003)
