Queen Latifah sparks the film every time she makes an appearance. Good, solid filmmaking that relies on characters and dialogue, not special effects, to make its impact. [More]

Reviews for Living Out Loud
The smooth, soothing soundtrack could not be a better fit for the laid-back, low-key, unforced appeal of the film.
If you live in Manhattan, you know women like Judith (Holly Hunter), the 40-something, Upper East Side divorce who put her ex-husband through medical school.
This feminist comedy shot through with fantasies about the travails of newly single womanhood strikes some rich chords, but doesn't quite put together a complete tune.
... there is always a market for these kid of sleek, superficial movies about the redemptive power of being true to your own nature
A wonderful film from beginning to end, one that is honest, genuinely funny, and poignant.
the kind of movie that hasn't been produced very often since Jill Clayburgh retired from the screen... Hunter, it should be said, fills Clayburgh's high heels quite nicely, convincingly veering from neurotic to erotic...
A tepid comedy/drama involving a wealthy nurse, Judith (Holly Hunter), who is miserable.
LaGravenese the director seems less sure of himself than LaGravenese the writer, resorting to occasional gimmicky touches that dilute the moods and meanings for which he's striving.
