Reception

Rita Kempley of The Washington Post gave the film a negative review and called it "an embarrassment for venerable Patricia Neal, who stars with hambone Shelley Winters, who blushes at nothing."^[2]

Michael Wilmington of the Los Angeles Times gave the film a mixed review and wrote, "we get a mostly unremarkable pastiche--in which three fine actors manage, occasionally, to shine."^[3]

Steve Simels of Entertainment Weekly also gave the film a mixed review and wrote, "In short, An Unremarkable Life is a sleeper in the literal sense of the term."^[4]
