The Other Woman Audience Reviews

Listonixio Fresh and Exciting
Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
yakirice Natalie might be cast in the role of the "other woman" but this isn't about cheating, nor is it about step-parenting. The whole movie is about SIDS. The movie never really shows what second wives really go through, which is baby-momma drama. There was none of that. Natalie had hardly any dialogue in the entire film, and there was little to no character development.

SnoopyStyle Emilia Greenleaf (Natalie Portman) is the hated 2nd wife to Jack Woolf (Scott Cohen) in Manhattan. Her stepson William (Charlie Tahan) hates her. He keeps taking digs at her dead baby. She was a paralegal who had an affair with the married Jack. He divorced his doctor wife Carolyn (Lisa Kudrow) to marry her when she got pregnant. Carolyn had poisoned William's mind against Emilia. Just as Emilia has a good day with William, Jack tells her that Carolyn is pregnant.The kid is so annoying. I understand that he needs to be annoying but there is something extra problematic with the performance. It would be helpful for Tahan to show that he knows that he's doing harm but he's playing it very flat. He needs to smile or any emotion after breaking her down each time. He's playing this like Damien from The Omen. The audience needs to get inside of his mind. I don't need to like the kid but he needs to show that he's human. It may be unfair to ask for a master performance from a child actor but this role really needs it. Natalie Portman acts her brains out but I don't care about any of their relationships. This could be an interesting relationship movie about Emilia and William but it's not really there.
Steve Schreiber The characters in this story are incredibly complex. Lisa Kudrow delivers a surprisingly good performance as the bitter, angry ex wife. Natalie Portman is great as she always is. She delivers a role that is snarky, cute and even heartbreaking at times. It is difficult to feel pity for a person who caused a divorce but the combination of Natalie Portman's and Lisa Kudrow's performances makes it easier than one might expect. The Other Woman is frustrating at times as you want to jump into the movie and slap sense into a couple of people. The emotional struggles each character goes through during the course of this film is well depicted. The dysfunctional family is best depicted in William's picture of his family.The ultimate horror of this movie has any viewer feel terrible for Natalie Portman as she was the cause for any new parent's worst nightmare. The reveal of what she did makes the way she acted throughout the movie much more understandable as it seemed to be slightly confusing that she would be so much more affected than anyone else in the film. The composition of songs feels a little bit TV movie. The orchestrated score used for background music at times in this film feels cheesy at best. I liked the movie but it was a bit depressing and tough to watch at times. I would recommend watching this movie to some people but not everyone. It is a tough watch as there are so many different emotions the viewer is put through. Lastly, Charlie Tahan is perfect for that role! He shines in the ice skating scene. Finally, the room gets a little bit "dusty" toward the end as Lisa Kudrow's character makes up for her actions throughout the movie. Tough scene. But this scene is immediately trumped when Emilia gives William a boat. That entire sequence is beautiful and probably the perfect way to finish this movie. Well done!
jerestringer I really did not appreciate the name of this movie. It is totally misleading as to the depth and sorrow surrounding this story. Not that it isn't a well crafted movie, just that I don't enjoy sorrowful movies. They depress me. I just didn't connect with the characters and there was no chemistry at all, between them. I don't understand why this site requires that you write a certain number of lines? I didn't need 10 lines to express my impression of this movie. Normally, I love all these actors, especially Lisa Kudrow. As well as Natalie Portman. However, I just never saw chemistry develop between the two leads. The actor playing William, the son, was terrific. He stole the show.9-10-13
