Enough Said Reviews

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

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4

Something in the combination of Louis-Dreyfus and Gandolfini doesn't seem right, or perhaps it just doesn't look right.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

Enough can't be said about how the late James Gandolfini comes so close to saving writer-director Nicole Holofcener's latest articulation of white suburban anxieties.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4

There's a Three's Company vibe to the proceedings, and it's not a style of humour I've ever been particularly fond of.

Full Review | Original Score: C-

Enough Said is afflicted with a terminal case of what Roger Ebert dubbed "the Idiot Plot," in which a single reasonable sentence uttered in a rational tone could easily, diplomatically resolve the film's core conflict.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5

Apart from Gandolfini, this is just bland, middlebrow fare that's not intrinsically superior to standard-issue Hollywood romantic comedies.

Full Review | Original Score: C+

Though she has taken a bit of the edge off the proceedings, her dialogue is as sly as ever.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5

Paired up with the always-wonderful Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Gandolfini is the heart and soul of a wonderfully funny and incisive film about giving love a second chance.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5

Both actors benefit from Holofcener's fantastic dialogue, one of her greatest strengths, but the final result isn't as satisfying as some of her more recent efforts.

Full Review

An utterly delightful, grown-up romantic comedy

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4

A believable and organic funny-sad-dramatic tonal medley.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4

The combination of Julia Louis-Dreyfus's comedic strengths with Nicole Holofcener's graceful style and James Gandolfini's quiet charm makes Enough Said a sad, sweet, and beautiful story of love at middle age.

Full Review | Original Score: 10/10

The cast really is a genuine delight and Holofcener keeps her story interesting from start to finish, however one-sided it may be.

Full Review | Original Score: 6.5/10

Holofcener's characters are wonderfully imperfect, and Enough Said shows that, just as in real life, sometimes moms and dads don't have all the answers.

Full Review | Original Score: 8/10

James Gandolfini's final role jerks tears and warms hearts in this first world problems romcom from Nicole Holofcener.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

That's a fairly contrived sitcom scenario, but Holofcener bends it into a loose, lightly funny meditation on divorce, getting older, and impending empty-nest syndrome. Also, yes, Gandolfini is terrific.

Full Review | Original Score: b

The core of the film is very real and immediately felt: the way in which a relationship can be wrecked by doubt and a hasty focus on the other individual's personal flaws.

Full Review

Holofcener elicits relaxed and relatable work from the entire cast, and she displays a strong ear for the patter of upper-middle-class passive-aggression.

Full Review

It's both touching and ludicrous and it shows that we lost in Gandolfini an accomplished comedian we barely knew.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5

Both Gandolfini and Louis-Dreyfus do strong work, but it's virtually impossible not to look at anything other than Gandolfini when he's on screen.
