His & Hers is a 2009 Irish documentary film directed and produced by Ken Wardrop in which Irish women, mainly from the Irish Midlands, talk about their relationships with men.[1][2][3]

Reception

On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a 86% approval rating based on 14 reviews, with an average rating of 6.2/10.[4]

Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian called the documentary "charming", but also added that the film is "pretty obvious and soft-focus[ed]".[5] Julian White of Lettle White Lies wrote "No great surprises in the early segments, but the intensity grows as the shadows of age and illness fall".[6] Cath Clarke of Time Out wrote: "You would need to be made of stone not to be charmed by the wit and warmth of these women".[7] The Village Voice's Michelle Orange said "It's around the birthing years that Wardrop's extremely selective homemaker's oral history-crafted to soothe with its placid framing and cheery, meditative tone-begins to close around you like doily-papered walls".[8]
