Reviews for My Wife is an Actress
Top CriticThe three leads produce adequate performances, but what's missing from this material is any depth of feeling.

Writer-director Attal stars in the picture opposite his real-life wife, and luckily there's chemistry between them.

Top CriticAn amusing and unexpectedly insightful examination of sexual jealousy, resentment and the fine line between passion and pretence.
04/26/02
For the most part, My Wife Is an Actress is bright, pleasant and intelligent entertainment with no undue alarums or excursions.
07/25/02
Not too fancy, not too filling, not too fluffy, but definitely tasty and sweet.

It is the charm of the two leads that carries 'My Wife is an Actress.'
04/27/02
Just keeping it all straight -- real-life filmmaker directing real-life wife in make-believe nude scene about same-named make-believe character's insecurities about same-named wife's make-believe nude scenes -- can leave you a little breathless.
07/18/02
Attal mixes comedy with a serious exploration of ego and jealousy within a seemingly serene marriage.
07/19/02
Despite the wobbly tone, and the ambiguity that hangs over the last section of the movie, My Wife Is an Actress is a light, enjoyable night out.
07/11/02
Nice balance between real emotions and cute movie moments with a hilarious love scene.
08/02/02
Everything that has to do with Yvan and Charlotte, and everything that has to do with Yvan's rambunctious, Jewish sister and her non-Jew husband, feels funny and true.
08/01/02
Yvan may be a self-deprecating paranoiac in the Woody Allen tradition, but Mr. Attal's script does a fine job of making his character's concerns farcically real.
