The script is full of witty gems, while still remaining rooted in reality.
06/13/08
Holofcener's anecdotal narrative doesn't give us much purchase on any of the characters.
02/13/08
An astutely observed relationship dramedy, painfully funny even as it burns.

Top Critic...remains oddly uninvolving for the majority of its brisk running time.
08/04/07
For all its Sundance cool factor, the latest from this gifted director glances off the viewer without leaving much impact.
03/01/07
Una comedia agridulce sobre las relaciones de pareja y amistad de cuatro mujeres acomodadas, con buenos diálogos y observación de personajes. Muy buen elenco.
01/09/07
Problematic at the center, but there's still pleasure to be had in watching the actresses navigate the emotional terrain.
10/20/06
This is a dense and sophisticated work about mortality, materialism, madness, jealousy and pity a movie in which the fabulous duds are ripped off the "Sex and the City" gals and they're left teetering on the edge of the abyss...

Top CriticThese characters are worth a visit, but don't be surprised if they don't stay with you for very long once you've gone home.

Marriage, success, self-worth and communication are put under the microscope and the result is funny, poignant and ripe with truths
08/25/06
Guys could learn a lot about women by watching this older, often funnier L.A. version of Sex in the City
08/23/06
[I]t's hard to distinguish [Holofcener's] more tentative approach to narrative [here] from an identity crisis. Maybe that's why McDormand's material has by far the most bite.
07/30/06
An amazing set of actresses add depth and character to the lives of four friends whose relationship will always be a mystery but whose love for each other endures.
07/20/06
If you are a woman, or if you love one, you should see it. You will see yourself somewhere, as with all her movies, and it will change the way you see yourself as well...Holofcener nderstands us better than we admit we understand ourselves
