Reviews for Playing By Heart
An always-entertaining and fairly thoughtful film on the subject of love, and how everyone hopes for it in one way or another.
A well-scripted ensemble drama about eleven people in Los Angeles searching for love.
A very slight and inoffensive movie. It's a lot like L.A. itself, all surface, soothing and warm.
Jolie's spunky, heartfelt, Oscar-nod-worthy performance is easily the film's best--which is no small feat, considering the caliber of the actors surrounding her.
A heavily mixed bag; high points come with Jon Stewart's sweet courtship of Gillian Anderson and a brilliant turn from a young unknown named Angelina Jolie.
An underrated, dreamy drama about love, lust and infidelity amongst inter-connected Los Angeleans. Jolie rises to the challenge.
