Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
The ensemble Holofcener has assembled comprises some of the best actresses working today, and they inhabit their roles with the astringency and softness these characters demand.

fresh:
This is soap opera with a brain, as she reveals four people ... at their most unguarded and, therefore, honest and bitterly funny.

fresh:
A film of this sort demands superb, seemingly effortless acting, and Holofcener gets it at every turn.

fresh:
Observed without corny resolutions and paced to allow for reflection, the film is understated but spot on.
