BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Pluskylang Great Film overall
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
cdcrb Elaine benes meets tony soprano. I was loving this movie for about 80 minutes, when I had an "oh no" moment. that's the moment when you realize the director won't be giving us the ending we see coming, but instead, we will be getting the ending the preview audience wanted. sadly. the story is simple, but not. Julia is a massage therapist, with Catherine keener as a client. they discuss former husbands. Julia meets james gnadolfini, who, you guessed it , is Catherine's ex husband. Julia and james fall in love. complications ensue. the two leads are great together, the writing is intelligent and for the most part real. it's not a feel good comedy, but wants you to be happy at the end. don't get me wrong, here . I loved this film. it's great. I was just sorry about the ending. there are two.
D'Arcy O'Connor Charming, sweet and unassuming. I'm not a fan of romantic comedy but this one avoids all the genre's usual pitfalls. Both leads break from their typecasts and the chemistry between them is delightful. Louis-Dreyfus plays a warmer character than usual; less intelligent, less cynical, much more likable. Gandolfini's performance is amazing. Humble, sweet, gentle... Nothing like Tony Soprano. I always get a little sad watching this as it was released not long before his death. It's bittersweet though, because he left us this gem as a legacy. As Soprano he was infamous and legendary. Though likable at times, there was always the threat of violence present. As Albert, he shows us a more approachable side.OK, this has gone on too long. Basically: unlike every other romcom, this doesn't feel contrived or corny. Great cast, direction and script. The key to its success is that it doesn't put on airs. It doesn't try to be funny all the time. It's two real people falling in love.
Sarah The fact that this film has so many raving reviews is just testament to the decline in the film industry as we are served so much dross, that when we see a film which has more realistic dialogues, it is seen as amazing. I recommend people who liked this film to watch some international films where realistic dialogues are a standard.I didn't think the film was amazing. Amazing is Incendies or The Prestige or About Elly. This film is just okay, nice. I'd give it 5-and-a-half stars. The couple are nice, and the ex-wife is interesting, and things seem to just roll. It's an alright film; the type I might randomly have on my TV on a Saturday afternoon. But by no means, an amazing film that I would rave to my friends about. Nothing spectacular happens. Most of the film is seen in the trailer. And that is it. I really just do not understand the hype for this film. Is it because people are so prejudiced against the idea of developing a relationship with a slightly overweight middle-aged man that it is seen as mind-blowing when we discover that he is a nice fellow human being? As another reviewer said, watch this film without having any high expectations for it and it can be a nice watch.
Nicole of ArchonCinemaReviews.com There are movies and there are films - Enough Said is wonderful little film that focuses on coming into later-adulthood in a really marvelous manner.As with most of independent films, Enough Said is a verbose film that focuses on the characters and their real life struggles in a slightly exaggerated but entertaining fashion.Julia Louis-Dreyfus plays Eva, a slightly faulted divorcée and single mother, soon to be empty-nester, struggling in the dating scene for the over forty. When she meets a nice man named Albert at a party, played by James Gandolfini, things seem to take a turn for the positive. At the same party, she meets a worldly poet (Catherine Keener) who becomes a new masseuse client and friend. Things become complicated when the degree of separation between these three characters is revealed to be closer than first thought.If anyone has ever told you that a 'coming of age' story can only be for those burgeoning adults facing the real world, they are mistaken. Enough Said is a coming of age story for grown-ups who face the next step of adulthood.Enough Said is smartly written to examine the trials of true adulthood in a comprehensive manner. Topics typically resigned for fleeting character traits are instead used as wholly centered subjects of this film, specifically: parenthood, long term marriage, and divorce. And yet, despite being typically depressing subject matters, Enough Said keeps the film light with smart humor.If a film is to use its characters as a tool for a film, the characters need to be complex, original and endearing. Enough Said fits the bill and Julia Louis-Dreyfus shines alongside James Gandolfini. Neither character is perfect or flawless, but are portrayed with real life complexity.Enough Said is dialogue driven so those hoping to find more action and 'events' might want to skip this film. Adults who want a great film should check it out, as there are only positive things to be said for this little gem.Please check out our website for complete reviews of all the recent releases.
