British writer Devorah Baum has just published her first book -- a guide to feelings like guilt, paranoia, envy and self-hatred. She's off to the US to promote the book via public conversations with intimidating academics and writers like Zadie Smith. With two small kids in tow, she's stressed out. How can Josh, her husband, help? Probably not by making a film about the whole trip. Before long, the feelings laid bare in Devorah's book get played out between them, revealing how much remains stubbornly unreconstructed in our supposedly progressive couplings. A breathtakingly honest relationship comedy on the cusp between autofiction and documentary, it's a love letter to New York, literary life, and, er, modern marriage.

Wendy Ide Observer (UK) The humour is of the squirmingly uncomfortable variety. Rated: 3/5 Feb 6, 2023 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian Husband is a complex, subtle kind of guided reality show, like Made in Chelsea with a hint of Curb Your Enthusiasm. Rated: 4/5 Jan 31, 2023 Full Review Anna Smith Deadline Hollywood Daily Husband is an uneasy and uncertain watch that provokes thought about relationships and feelings while occasionally amusing, in an uncomfortable sort of way. Aug 24, 2022 Full Review Rosalynn Try-Hane Battle Royale With Cheese It’s hard to say if I enjoyed it, but I did find it thought-provoking. Feb 8, 2023 Full Review Scott Wilson One Room With A View While a smart work of autofiction, Husband might be too clever for its own good. Rated: 3/5 Oct 24, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
