The sisterly writing team of Karen and Jill Sprecher create that deadly form of cinema, the play mistaken for a movie.

The movie has a soft, percolating magic, a deadpan suspense.
06/07/02
The Sprecher sisters like people enough to rejoice in their happiness and commiserate with their sorrows, and they should certainly be encouraged to keep on making movies.

Top Critic“13 Conversations About One Thing” is an intelligent flick that examines many different ideas from happiness to guilt in an intriguing bit of storytelling.
06/04/02
At once intriguingly allusive and rigorously precise, very much like an anthology of well-crafted short stories.
06/03/02
a screenplay more ingeniously constructed than "Memento"
06/01/02
Its hushed, contemplative quality is oddly affecting, as by the end, hope -- as the barstool philosopher might say -- springs eternal.
06/01/02
A major achievement and something to get excited about.

Top Critic"13 Conversations" holds its goodwill close, but is relatively slow to come to the point.
05/29/02
A small film, but one whose modest grace provides greater satisfaction than most Hollywood blockbusters.

[Sprecher's] imagination is both literal-minded and free-form.

Top CriticAn intelligent, earnest, intimate film that drops the ball only when it pauses for blunt exposition to make sure you're getting its metaphysical point.

If filmmakers tell stories as a way of imposing logic where none exists in the natural flow of life, then this film locates the source of that flow in what we say to one another.
05/24/02
This is a movie full of grace and, ultimately, hope.
05/24/02
Even if the working parts in Conversations aren't all up to snuff, the movie does succeed in leaving you attentive and prepared for any stirring in the outside world that will affect your day.
05/24/02
Top Critic13 Conversations demands the utmost concentration, for to look away from the screen for even a brief moment is to risk losing a plot line or a crucial bit of information, but its cumulative, transporting impact makes it worth the effort.
05/24/02
Top CriticThe performances are solid throughout, but Arkin is tops as a simmering pencil-pusher incensed by his employees' good fortune.
