The film ultimately becomes too contrived to be anything but a fleeting diversion, but kudos to these emerging filmmakers for daring to make something a little bit different and, for the most part, intriguing.

Reviews for Conversation(s) with Other Women
1 - 17 (sorted by date)
Top CriticThe charm of Conversations With Other Women, a gimmicky but oddly moving two-character drama that flies in from who knows where, is its intelligent knowingness.
09/15/06
Top CriticThe gimmick has its poetic moments, but the actors can't do much to make screenwriter Gabrielle Zevin's strategems for characters seem like real people.
08/31/06
Top CriticConversations with Other Women feels like a one-act play stretched into a feature film and padded with those visual gimmicks.
08/21/06
Top CriticThe posturing twosome in the movie are themselves a compendium of stylish ticks in need of substantive redemption -- for once, the gimmick is a perfect reflection of the characters.
08/14/06
Top CriticThis is entertainment by and for adults.
08/12/06
Top CriticThe technique heightens the drama, illustrating how each character is in his or her own lonely little world.
08/12/06
Top CriticBy fade out, the movie has run out of air: the quick, clever dialogue flattens out and it becomes contrived.
08/12/06
Top CriticHaving been locked up in Burton's toy chest for so long, [Bonham Carter] is all the more dazzling in this wistful two-character infidelity drama.
08/12/06
Top CriticMostly it works because this is about two people desperately trying to do the impossible: to reconcile the past with the present, reality with fantasy, and desire with responsibility.
08/12/06
Top CriticTheirs is an affair not worth remembering.
08/12/06
Top CriticHans Canosa's studied debut feature stars Aaron Eckhart and Helena Bonham Carter as old flames who meet, years after parting, and have a short fling.
08/10/06
Top CriticAn intimate movie in every sense, Conversations With Other Women sets out to explore well-trammeled yet at the same time uncharted territory without grinding any axes.
08/10/06
Top CriticIt may be dotted with fine observations, yet somehow the charm of its novelty grows stale, and the airless feeling of a closed set begins to fester.
08/07/06
Top CriticThe split screen sabotages [Canosa's] best intentions; it's a conceit that only manages to make the viewer irritable.
08/03/06
Top CriticThe battle of the sexes is restaged to clever but inconsequential effect in Conversations With Other Women.
03/30/06
Top CriticThat the movie holds viewers' attention despite its contrivances is a testament to the script and acting.
