Rey R Jan 4, 2019 Natalie Portman and Lisa Kudrow are beyond bad here. Stiff and expressionless. The whole movie is cliche and predictable. Portman herself sums it up after seeing a movie with her mother, âwhy is everything so stupid!?â? Waste of time. See more

Rey P Oct 29, 2018 I really wished this was a movie about the affair from the other women's point of view. Natalie Portman's performance is top notch even though I think she looks like a teenage boy. It was mainly boring. See more

Luke R Aug 24, 2018 I really liked the acting in this movie, Natalie Portman is really natural in this role, Scott Cohen and the young Charlie Tahan were very good too, and Lisa Kudrow too, even though she didn't have a lot of scenes, I liked the story and didn't find the pace of the film to be dragging , it was a very good film overall. As that being said for this being ok, but liking Natalie Portman performance, I give "The Other Woman" a C. See more

Hagrid L Mar 7, 2018 Boring melodrama where every single character is unsympathetic. Emilia Greenleaf is a hypocrite. I just couldn't give a shit about her character, but I did love her hair wardrobe. See more

Leia S Feb 14, 2017 A guilt for losing the own baby and being labelled as a bad step-mother. It is also known as 'Love and Other Impossible Pursuits', which is the name of the book the film was adapted. According to me this is a very underrated film. Especially Natalie Portman was never seen before. This film was beautiful because of her. Might have been the same if any other actress who had played that role, but the thing is the character Emilia makes this story great. I would have given any top award the available around the globe for that incredible character display. It should have been recognised, sadly that did not happen because of the filthy film critics. Feels good watching it. This might not be a biographical film, but surely this is happening around us. The writing was so impressive. How the character Emilia was portrayed is the film's highlight. It was a simple character, that does not mean the life has to be simple as well. She falls in love with a married man and later she get married to him to become a step-mother to his child. That's where the problem arises when her baby dies in her arm, everybody points her for not being cautious with her step-son. This is a big task and how she comes out of it was revealed with lots of small twists and turns in the tale. Not just Natalie, but all the supporting cast was brilliant, including the husband, the kid and the ex. The story of loss, marriage, taking care a child and other struggles in life. Initially it did not look good with those affairs, but when it got past the half way mark, the rest of the film rebalanced the entire film. I liked how it ended. That final scene was very good. Even if you are an atheist, that end dialogues makes the major difference to favour the film. I haven't read the book, but seems the film was better than the book. Being a film fanatic and failing to recommending it to you would be a mistake. So I recommend it to particularly the grown-ups. 8/10 See more
