Critic Reviews of "An Ideal Husband"
Time OutMarch 02, 2011The bright, crisp design, Wilde's arch eloquence and a classy company help to camouflage the shortcomings.
Entertainment WeeklyJuly 07, 2010An enjoyable, minor, lustrously shot revamping of Oscar Wilde's play about the perpetually interlocked manners of love and deception.
VarietyJune 19, 2008Smooth-flowing direction, a shrewdly pruned script and a top-flight ensemble cast that visibly relishes both the dialogue and one another's perfs make this a tony item for upscale, mature audiences.
Houston ChronicleJuly 21, 2005Parker has made a sensible cinematic translation of Wilde's play, intercutting scenes which would have been played consecutively on the stage.
Globe and MailMarch 19, 2002[I]t's likely that Mr. Wilde, who once wrote, 'A poet can survive anything but a misprint,' would have been less than thrilled with the result.
Los Angeles TimesFebruary 14, 2001Wilde was always about lots more than witty repartee, and as sparkling as his play is as drawing-room comedy, it reveals his concern with the timeless values of unselfish love and forgiveness.
Sight and SoundJune 18, 2012Parker's shuttlecock technique only succeeds in throwing Wilde's cascading rhythms seriously out of whack and makes it hard to attend to the language as fully as one would like.
Film4July 20, 2010Quality comedy with a sprinkling of romance, skilfully assembled by a director with a clear feel for the material. Performances are universally great and the dialogue, of course, is superb.
TV GuideJuly 20, 2010It's lavish, clever entertainment, a welcome opportunity to laugh without shame.
CinerinaDecember 15, 2009It's a pleasant diversion but sadly, little more than a chance to hear Rupert's barbed wit.
TheMovieReport.comNovember 18, 2009The exquisite teamwork and byplay make the film such a delight to watch.
Sacramento News & ReviewAugust 07, 2008All the other performances -- from Cate Blanchett, Minnie Driver, Julianne Moore, John Wood and Peter Vaughan -- are first rate.
