Reviews
“The original title of the film was“ Love and Other Impossible Pursuits ”- and it's far more appropriate than“ The Other Woman ”. Because this drama is not about the other woman, but about fragile human relationships today. Still, some good lines of dialogue and the good acting performances of Natalie Portman and Charlie Tahan cannot hide the fact that "The Other Woman" is an average film. "
“Sudden infantile death and a family close to collapse: The Other Woman is the portrait of an unloved person who has to regain courage. But please with more verve, because the tantalizing staging makes us indifferent to its fate! A documentary film for the hype surrounding Natalie Portman. "
