Critic Reviews
-
Vincent Canby, New York Times
It is almost unbearably long. It is a narrative film without any real narrative, and although it is a movie about three characters, those characters are seen almost exclusively in terms of their limiting relationship.
-
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
John Cassavetes' Husbands is disappointing in the way Antonioni's Zabriskie Point was. It shows an important director not merely failing, but not even understanding why.
-
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
This 1970 film is John Cassavetes's most irritating, full of the male braggadocio and bluster that mar even some of his best work. But it's impossible to dismiss or shake off entirely.

Sean Axmaker, Turner Classic Movies Online
... a personal, provocative and uncompromising vision and a daring journey into the psyche of American men.

Paul Brenner, Filmcritic.com
Husbands is devoid of story but filled with a present-tense vitality and emotional honesty
