Walter V. Addiego San Francisco Chronicle The ending is something of a disappointment, and reinforces a suspicion viewers may have had early on that perhaps there's less to Martin than meets the eye. Rated: 2/4 Jul 27, 2017 Full Review Mark Dujsik RogerEbert.com For all of the work that the filmmakers do to help us understand Martín's motives for the deception (not to mention Becker, whose performance is quite good), there's an important piece missing. Rated: 2.5/4 Jun 9, 2017 Full Review Andrea Gronvall Chicago Reader Nudity and scenes of energetic lovemaking spice up the meager narrative but can't make up for a flat ending. Jun 8, 2017 Full Review Steven Prokopy Third Coast Review Family Life is a fascinating and curious work that magnifies the way all of us misrepresent ourselves a little when we meet someone new and are interested in them. May 7, 2020 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com As a scenario of oddness and discomfort, Family Life wavers tenuously on remaining compelling. Rated: 3/5 Oct 4, 2019 Full Review Jessica Baxter Hammer to Nail [Family Life is an] entertaining, dark, and occasionally poignant film. Aug 7, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews
