A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Elaine benes meets tony soprano. I was loving this movie for about 80 minutes, when I had an "oh no" moment. that's the moment when you realize the director won't be giving us the ending we see coming, but instead, we will be getting the ending the preview audience wanted. sadly. the story is simple, but not. Julia is a massage therapist, with Catherine keener as a client. they discuss former husbands. Julia meets james gnadolfini, who, you guessed it , is Catherine's ex husband. Julia and james fall in love. complications ensue. the two leads are great together, the writing is intelligent and for the most part real. it's not a feel good comedy, but wants you to be happy at the end. don't get me wrong, here . I loved this film. it's great. I was just sorry about the ending. there are two.

The fact that this film has so many raving reviews is just testament to the decline in the film industry as we are served so much dross, that when we see a film which has more realistic dialogues, it is seen as amazing. I recommend people who liked this film to watch some international films where realistic dialogues are a standard.I didn't think the film was amazing. Amazing is Incendies or The Prestige or About Elly. This film is just okay, nice. I'd give it 5-and-a-half stars. The couple are nice, and the ex-wife is interesting, and things seem to just roll. It's an alright film; the type I might randomly have on my TV on a Saturday afternoon. But by no means, an amazing film that I would rave to my friends about. Nothing spectacular happens. Most of the film is seen in the trailer. And that is it. I really just do not understand the hype for this film. Is it because people are so prejudiced against the idea of developing a relationship with a slightly overweight middle-aged man that it is seen as mind-blowing when we discover that he is a nice fellow human being? As another reviewer said, watch this film without having any high expectations for it and it can be a nice watch.

Divorce is usually a detail assigned to a character to make him or her more complicated or provide some context for his or her world. Rarely does it play such an integral role as it does in "Enough Said," the latest from Nicole Holofcener. Starring two actors still best known for their star-making television turns, there's a lot about second chances in this story of two middle-aged parents giving each other and themselves the benefit of the doubt.There's something so touching, raw and frankly surprising about the chemistry between Julia Louis-Dreyfus and the late James Gandolfini. Louis-Dreyfus is certainly not known for down-to-earth characters and Gandolfini made his name playing a Mafioso, yet what they have on screen is tender and honest. Holofcener really gets them to click and appear so completely relatable.Much of "Enough Said" is simply these two navigating each other and their relationships with their children and exes. The only conflicts (though it's a big one) is when Louis-Dreyfus' Eva learns that Gandolfini's Albert is, amazingly enough, her new client/bestie Marianne's (Catherine Keener) ex-husband. Eva's fear that the truth will ruin both relationships pivots the narrative entirely around when Albert and Marianne inevitably find out.The simplicity is refreshing and charming in a way, but also leaves something to be desired. Holofcener sheds a lot of truth on divorced life and what it's like to raise an 18-year-old with your ex while moving onward, and the simplicity of her story allows this to really sink in, but it's not all that challenging. It's real and it connects, but there's no internal struggle for the viewer to have, perhaps because Eva's situation is so unlikely. The consequences of it all, namely the challenges Eva has with her daughter, Ellen (Tracey Fairaway) and Ellen's friend Chloe (Tavi Gevinson) plus Albert's issues with his daughter (Eve Hewson), create some familiar, smaller conflicts, but they are ancillary at best.Yet it all comes down to Louis-Dreyfus and Gandolfini making a tangible connection to the audience. Their relationship is raw, awkward – not glamorized like most mainstream films targeting a 40- 60 demographic. In fact, Keener's character, among the least likable, represents that kind of Hollywood-So Cal sheen in a way, perhaps to highlight that distinction. Regardless, "Enough Said" strikes some resonant chords when it comes to relationships and not just romantic ones. Any film that can reach that level of depth deserves a wholehearted commendation.
