What to Know

Critics Consensus

We Don't Live Here Anymore is often overly moody and grim, but it's made watchable by the strong performances for its four principal actors.

Movie about adultery for adults only. Go to Full Review Glenn Kenny Premiere Magazine 11/02/2004

Dubus, anticipating the dreaded Raymond Carver, is only concerned with the interiority of the characters. It's solipsism once removed; and in this film, it's that times four. Go to Full Review Jay Boyar Orlando Sentinel 10/01/2004

We Don't Live Here Anymore is, you might say, a movie for adults who are, perhaps, a smidge too impressed with being adults. Go to Full Review Felicia Feaster Creative Loafing 02/03/2020

It's the relationship that doesn't involve sex between [Mark Ruffalo] and [Peter Krause] that's the real clincher. Their games of one-upmanship and bravado fizzle with a kinetic tension... Go to Full Review Gregory Freitas Hollywood.com 11/20/2008

Lauren M @realitycheck11 Dec 22 This movie sucked the big one. People with no sense of responsibility fall into an affair for sex and just don't know it. They think it is love but it is not. Childish and irresponsible but in the end the man cannot leave his wife, because in the end he loves her and does not want to ruin his marriage. The wife having the affair with him just wants to change her life and marriage and I think any man would have been ok she was ripe for an affair rather than just divorcing her husband she just leaves him. Stupidest movie I ever saw. She needed to grow a pair and divorced him long ago. As for the man involved in the affair - it was just pure sex when it comes down to it. Immaturity - pure and simple, boredom - pure and simple. Nothing redeeming about this movie just pure crap. See more andrea c @Charst 08/08/2021 Dramma che lega a doppio filo le vite di due coppie di "amici" che vivono crisi di coppia ed intrighi amorosi. I dialoghi sono ben strutturati ed i personaggi ben strutturati; forse la pecca maggiore è far girare tutto intorno a Mark Ruffalo, che forse è il meno interessante dei quattro. Nel complesso i due caratteri sono creati molto meglio e sono molto sensuali.

See more Steve S @RT32687682 07/14/2015 Scathing look at two couples and the painful stages of their disintegrating marriages. Wonderfully acted, especially from Laura Dern. See more 07/11/2015 There is nothing new here, but just great acting from the whole cast, and especially Mark Ruffalo and Laura Dern who really chew up the scenes they are in.
