Film Review – Ex-Husbands

Written and directed by Noah Pritzker, “Ex-Husbands” is a story about men facing tremendous changes in their lives, and they have very little patience for it. It’s something of a comedy, but it’s mostly dramatic, inspecting how these people handle upheaval and grand emotional challenges while trying to remain social and understanding. Pritzker has the advantage of a fine cast to inhabit these itchy roles, with special attention on Griffin Dunne, who rarely receives a chance to sink his teeth into a character these days, offering an excellent performance while surrounded by strong work from the rest of the ensemble. “Ex-Husbands” has the initial atmosphere of a Woody Allen film, as the helmer threatens to remain with human foibles and New York City moods, but the picture grows more interested in behavior as it unfolds, making for a small-scale inspection of struggling personalities and their adventures in Mexico.
