Goldbacher ... is most adept at visual storytelling, capturing intimate moments with breathtaking acuity.
08/02/02
Top CriticMostly, [Goldbacher] just lets her complicated characters be unruly, confusing and, through it all, human.
08/22/02
Holly and Marina may not always be good for each other, but together they tell us a great deal about people who need each other -- a group that ultimately includes all of us.
08/08/02
Top CriticFriel ... and Williams ... both create sympathetic and thoroughly believable individual characters.
01/10/02
The movie, so briskly alert in details, is generic in its guiding ideas.
08/09/02
If much of Me Without You strikes a familiar chord, it also intelligently captures the difficulties that can disrupt even a close friendship.

Vividly conveys the shadow side of the 30-year friendship between two English women.
07/04/02
Michelle Williams really proves herself here. She's terrific in what could become her breakout role from television's Dawson's Creek.
09/02/02
Offers a clear-eyed chronicle of a female friendship that is more complex and honest than anything represented in a Hollywood film.
07/21/02
Top CriticGoldbacher effectively explores the love-hate and competitive nature of close female relationships with wit, evocative staging, and a whimsical soundtrack.
01/08/02
Nothing can detract from the affection of that moral favorite: friends will be friends through thick and thin.
07/31/02
The rich performances by Friel -- and especially Williams, an American actress who becomes fully English -- round out the square edges.
08/02/02
It's a pleasure to actually watch a chick flick that appeals to all audiences because of its strict emphasis on human emotion, rather than fluffy pillows, pom-poms and makeovers.
07/08/02
Goldbacher gives us a sense of a real friendship, strained by the need of both women to mature, and embraces the emotional messiness of growing up.
07/12/02
Top CriticTaken seriously, it's not much to think about, but taken as a dirtier version of other girlie films ... it's at least entertaining and sexy fun.
08/23/02
A journey spanning nearly three decades of bittersweet camaraderie and history, in which we feel that we truly know what makes Holly and Marina tick, and our hearts go out to them as both continue to negotiate their imperfect, love-hate relationship.
04/15/03
"Me Without You" is a probing examination of a female friendship set against a few dynamic decades.
