The Other Man is self conscious, overproduced, overacted Euro marital hoo ha.

The film is filled with good on paper moments that build up and slowly tighten like a knot but usually end in a whimper.

Richard Eyre is fast becoming the new master of unhealthy obsession.
Screen Daily
2.0
A supposedly grown up drama like The Other Man ought to have scruples about where it plans to take you. Trickiness for its own sake is simply a cheat.

A skewed psychological thriller revolving around the many forms of betrayal.

Actress Jameela Jamil uses drama over Kim Kardashians maternity shapewear to remind us to second guess everything tabloids write about women.

1.5
Stagy to a fault, and painfully uneventful, The Other Man suffocates from the pitiable writing at hand.
Coles Mithey

A manipulative bore of a film. Liam Neeson is better than this and so are you.
