TV Guide Magazine
If the film ultimately amounts to little more than a middle-aged coming-of-age story, it's richly imagined and filled fanciful touches in keeping with its passionate subject. - 50
Variety
A drama that steadily succumbs to self-conscious artiness, drunk on its own sense of contrived poetry and cloudy existential reflection. - 50
The New York Times
The Man of My Life is a sumptuously illustrated but shallow fable of the grass-is-greener conflict between freedom and commitment. - 50
Village Voice
The film's arresting beauty--shots of a curtain blowing into a shadowed stairwell, or a meadow of sunflowers, or a head resting on a shoulder--is nearly enough.
