It doesn't make for cheerful viewing but, in its own downbeat way, A Woman's Life makes absorbing filmmaking.

Rating: 3/5 --
The director Stéphane Brizé does some lovely work with non-chronological flashbacks and flash-forwards, but the deadening sense that we know exactly where this is going (hint: not up) is never quite undone.

Rating: 3/5 --
What saves this from being a dull downer is the lightness of touch in the direction and performances, the spontaneity of the dialogue as characters discuss dress designs or household expenditure.

A textured film that may just be too dour for its own good.

One Room With A View
The narrative is suffused with subtle yet piquant moral commentary.
Brooklyn Magazine
Rating: 4/5 --
A striking portrait of a woman of certain means as equally weighted down by her expectations and limited control.

Perhaps not literally, but in Stephane Brize's depressing A Woman's Life, there are fleeting moments here and there of feeling and situations that all women can emphasize with.
