What invariably saves [Diary of a Mad Housewife] from banality is crisp scripting, deft direction and some delectable personality performances.

An engrossing story of the disintegration of a modern loveless marriage.

RTThe Stranger (Seattle, WA)Dec 9, 2021

This is definitely not a fun watch, as the abuse Tina endures day after day is incessant. But the film is powerful, well-acted, grimly humorous, and extremely relevant...
