For every such moment there's a sappy montage or overt visual reference to Rossellini to cheapen the effect.

Drew Hunt, Chicago Reader
Rotten

[A] familiarly snoozy romantic drama.

Lou Lumenick, New York Post
Rotten

Though the film plays like late-era Woody Allen - not necessarily a good thing - and Goldberg's rambunctiousness is more annoying than liberating, there's a serious depth of feeling here.

Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News
Rotten

The marital crisis at the movie's heart has lost its allegorical weight. Jane and Leonard are just another unhappy couple with problems that have nothing to do with the direction of Western civilization.

Stephen Holden, New York Times

"And While We Were Here" is just good enough to pique your curiosity, but never quite good enough to captivate.

Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic
