Le Divorce | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Neil Norman London Evening Standard The tone veers capriciously from sophisticated comedy to broad farce and melodrama, with too many digressions for it to be more than fitfully amusing. Jan 11, 2018 Full Review Le Divorce | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Nell Minow Common Sense Media Not a frothy romantic comedy. Rated: 2/5 Dec 25, 2010 Full Review Le Divorce | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Empire Magazine Rated: 2/5 Dec 30, 2006 Full Review Le Divorce | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Micheal Compton Bowling Green Daily News You get the feeling that somewhere buried deep inside Le Divorce is a good film waiting to get out. It's just a shame this talented cast and crew didn't take a little more time to find it.

susan j Not for the explosions, videogames, and superheros crowd. For others, thoroughly enjoyable. Incredible cast. Packed top to bottom with fabulous actors--some well-known, some less so. It's a poignant thoughtful human film, with depth and subtly. My guess is when it came out people didn't like it but now it's kind of a rare gem, with depth, complexity, and thoughtful meanderings....plus shots of Paris, bits about art, gorgeous cinematography, haute cuisine, beautiful young people, interesting story. Watching it felt like a respite from our fraught angry divisive world of 2023. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Plot holes galore, disconnected cuts, and a bevy of continuity errors are nothing compared to the surface performances and flat story. Oof not good. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review steve d The actresses are likable but their characters and the film are not. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review adam b I'll say, for what it is, I almost did like the film. But just ended bare and flat Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Holmes's character distracts from the otherwise entertaining movie Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Le Divorce stars Kate Hudson and Naomi Watts as sisters living in France. This movie is based on the book I never read and don't plan on reading. This flick is a bore showcasing the upper middle class families and their problems. Watts's husband leaves her while being pregnant, while he goes off with another married person. The story depicts the French and American cultures and how different we are from each other. Overall it was an ok movie, nothing to remember. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
