Sorry, this movie sucks

So much average

Best movie ever!

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Watching this movie was like watching two incredibly average films at the same time. The story was predictable while the filming and editing was original but annoying. The chemistry worked but still a bit awkward. It wasn't the worst film ever but I could have found something better to do with my evening, I recommend skipping this one as I actually stopped the film at one point to decide if I should go on... If I wasn't twenty minutes out I would have jumped ship, instead I saw what was the only likely ending, as predictable as the credits themselves. So in the end, find something that does not try so hard with artistic camera work and instead makes us love the characters and the story which I found both lacking.

I never would of thought in a million years that Eckhart and Bonham-Carter could pull off a film like this... I mean I had a lot of faith in her, but I was a little weirded out about the two of them together. Let me just say I was already a fan of Zevin's novels (particularly Elsewhere.. yeah I know it's a teen novel but hey, it's a great spin on the afterlife) I just had no idea how great this film was going to be. It was unconventional in the greatest sense... the duo, the plot, the emphasis on how imperfect life is && how you really don't know the next bend in the road or what you have until it's gone...The Carla Bruni soundtrack only adds to the greatness.This film really spoke to me, it really makes me question my life. Am I happy? Or could I be if I had a man by the balls the way Helena's character mastered Aarons'? Oooh but how I wished things could work out! Why does life have to turn into circumstances, that block you from getting what you want? Ah.... I digress. When the movie does end, I'm left choking back tears, but somehow optimistic. I don't know, it just does that to me, and no, it's not because of the upbeat Carla B. song... since this film was so real, you can almost predict what could happen. Definitely a good bittersweet open ending and all I can say is Bravo Conversations with Other Women 10/10.

Nice review, but Helena Bonham Carter is not American actress, but European, and she don't like when her compare to Hollywood actress =) .*CONVERSATIONS WITH OTHER WOMEN is a sly look at relationships that slowly creeps up on you as you learn the secrets of each character. It is a fine piece of film-making!*U'r right guy! ---------------(well played by Erik Eidem and Nora Zehetner in flashbacks) May be well, but I got accustomed to that Helena plays young-itself in Barton movies...Bovine!

A gentleman (Aaron Eckhart) offers a beautiful bridesmaid (Helena Bonham Carter) a glass of champagne at the start of the wedding's reception. She responds that she doesn't drink anymore but still enjoys a cigarette. Yet, she is not giving the man the brush-off, as a long conversation begins. Among other things, they discuss past relationships, their mutual proximity to age 40, the differences between lawyers and doctors and much more. In fact, things heat up and they end up in the bridesmaid's hotel room, where the close encounter gets even closer. The lady reminds the gentleman that her plane, traveling back to London, leaves at 5:00 a.m. More noteworthy than this is the ever clearer certainty that these two have met before. Will the woman go back to London at all? This is a most impressive film, to say the least. To begin, it has two radiant stars, the ever-so-handsome Eckhart and the lovely Bonham Carter, and they fulfill their roles wonderfully. Then, although the film is mostly dialogue, it uses visual techniques, such as split screens and flashbacks, to move the tale along quite nicely. It also employs humor and intelligence to explore nearly every aspect of the modern human condition, where "love" between two individuals is a many-complicated thing. Add on nice costumes, a lovely hotel setting in New York, and some good camera work and production values and you have a movie that looks great, too. What a shame that this film probably had a limited release and ended up sitting on the DVD store shelves with little fanfare. Its vibrant, very romantic, very insightful, and touchingly funny story deserves to be touted everywhere. Will you, after a viewing, help to spread the word?
