Reviews for Thirteen Conversations About One Thing
The dialogue is more vibrant and thoughtful than what you'll find in most movies, and gimmick free.
07/26/02
Devoid of fights, chases and explosions, the film is a delicate tapestry made from everyday threads
07/25/02
Sprecher... in no way creates a false pretence of fantasy to placate her audience.
07/24/02
Thirteen Conversations will probably reach some people and, in turn, maybe even make the world a better place. We can hope.
07/21/02
Resonates with intelligence and a poignancy.
07/20/02
It's hard to imagine Alan Arkin being better than he is in this performance.
07/15/02
It gives you feelings of elation, sadness and humor, sometimes within five minutes of each other.
07/12/02
Those who are more patient and looking for more from a movie will be rewarded with a thoughtful film that asks more questions than it gives answers.
07/12/02
Without getting grand or preachy, the Sprechers use an unconventional approach to coax us into asking ourselves fundamental questions.
07/11/02
Following Sprecher's morally compromised New Yorkers through a funhouse maze of narrative overlap is never less than a tantalizing pursuit.
07/11/02
An intriguing portrait of New Yorkers colliding with fate.
07/11/02
Often messy and frustrating, but very pleasing at its best moments, it's very much like life itself.
07/10/02
Top CriticDirector Sprecher gets kudos for keeping so many narrative balls in the air and having them all land in place. It remains an intellectual exercise, not for those in the mood for action.
07/09/02
Treating the audience like adults with a fine ensemble cast, intelligent dialogue, and real everyday situations that make us question the purpose of our lives...
07/09/02
Whatever ... the film to its credit never loses track of its humanity.

Smart, serious and deftly composed.

Top CriticEach of these stories has the potential for Touched by an Angel simplicity and sappiness, but Thirteen Conversations About One Thing, for all its generosity and optimism, never resorts to easy feel-good sentiments.
07/04/02
Top Critic13 Conversations may be a bit too enigmatic and overly ambitious to be fully successful, but Sprecher and her screenwriting partner and sister, Karen Sprecher, don't seem ever to run out of ideas.
