Enough Said is a romantic comedy about hurting the people you love, who you want to love - and making mistakes that may be impossible to recover from.

In the terse space film provides, Holofcener capturing her characters deftly. We know their fears, needs, lonesomeness. We trust the cars they drive, the food they eat, the rooms they keep tidy, or not.

The easy chemistry between Louis-Dreyfus and Gandolfini is wonderfully charming - you're rooting for them even as the falsehoods pile up and the poison begins to flow.

The jarring shifts between effective drama and failed humor make watching Enough Said a bumpy and sometimes frustrating journey.

For all of us who've been waiting way too long for a smart, funny, snappy romantic comedy for grown-ups - here it is.

Holofcener delivers her most confident character comedy to date - a work of deceptively informal mastery - and Gandolfini's gentle performance just about breaks your heart.

The plot ultimately is just a hanger on which to place Holofcener's typically engaging dialogue, a roomful of gracefully constructed characters, and a superlative turn by the late James Gandolfini.

Then James Gandolfini walks into the picture, and things settle down into a fine, genuine groove.

It's not just a thoroughly enjoyable movie that benefits from a funny, well-humored script, but it's a lovely way to remember the late, great James Gandolfini.

Simple, quiet, unassuming, but with loads of warmth and heart.

Holofcener has an instinct for the ensemble, and there are a wealth of interesting characters in the margin.

A comedy of separation anxiety and conjoining anxiety...When Holofcener gets Dreyfus and Gandolfini alone, Enough Said is a beautiful thing.

Eva is in turn lovable and loathsome, but thanks to a delicate blend of comic lightness and everyday drama, Louis-Dreyfus's performance lands in just the right place to meet Gandolfini's sparkling yet solid gaze.

What a concept -- an adult romantic comedy that's equally wise and playful, with mold-breaking performances by James Gandolfini and Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

It's a funny, tender, impactful story of two divorc?es, authentically in their early 50s, struggling to trust and love again.

The result is one of the most honest recent comedies about romances that flourish, marriages that totter and the difficulties of raising children with the right blend of respect, discipline and support.

Throughout her career, Holofcener has demonstrated a peerless skill at capturing the rhythms of conversation, as well as an insightful grasp of how people's inner lives drive their interactions.

A classic screwball comedy, and it works like a charm.

It's so rare these days to find a film that is about adults and for adults.

This bittersweet romantic comedy is a low-key breath of fresh air. Something different to offer than your typical Blockbuster or Oscar-bait movie that populate the multiplexes during the Fall movie season.

Nicole Holofcener's most mainstream movie is a charming love story with an excellent cast, including Julia Louis-Dreyfus, James Gandolfini and Catherine Keener.

Although the plot might go through the expected and predictable motions, it's the small elements that make the film shine, be they from the nuances of the performances or the smart script. (Full Content Review for Parents also available)
