'Tell Me That You Love Me' is a Canadian-Israeli coproduced drama film, directed by Tzipi Trope and released in 1983.Gerald Pratley, 'A Century of Canadian Cinema'. Lynx Images, 2003. . p. 215. The film stars Nick Mancuso and Barbara Williams as Dan and Miri, a couple in Tel Aviv whose marriage is running into trouble; meanwhile Miri, a journalist, begins to write a story about spousal abuse when she meets Naomi (Andre Pelletier), a woman who is being abused by her husband David (Kenneth Welsh).Greg Quill, "Tribulations of yuppie couple a trial for viewer". 'Toronto Star', June 11, 1989.
The film was poorly received by critics. Gerald Pratley called it "a protracted, poorly written and unreal story of a failed marriage", while Greg Quill of the 'Toronto Star' wrote that "The only relief from all this dreary anguish is temporary separation. Dan takes a job for a year in New York, Miri works out The Meaning Of Life at home. By then, of course, we couldn't care less about their relationship, about the long, sad silences these two greedy, self-centred people share at the nadir of their married life. Let's just hope they get their just desserts: another 50 years together."
Welsh received a Genie Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor at the 5th Genie Awards in 1984.Jay Scott, "11 nominations for Chapdelaine in Genie race". 'The Globe and Mail', February 10, 1984.
