Critic Reviews

Kyle Smith

It's brilliant work. Read full review

Andrew O'Hehir

I found the film powerfully erotic, although it has minimal nudity and no explicit sex. Read full review

Mick LaSalle

A smart, sexy romantic drama, directed within an inch of its life by Hans Canosa. Read full review

Ann Hornaday

The film ultimately becomes too contrived to be anything but a fleeting diversion, but kudos to these emerging filmmakers for daring to make something a little bit different and, for the most part, intriguing. Read full review

Michael Phillips

This minor relationship picture comes and goes, but her (Carter's) performance lingers. Read full review

Todd McCarthy

The battle of the sexes is restaged to clever but inconsequential effect in Conversations With Other Women. Very much a case of old wine in a new bottle. Read full review

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Despite the resourcefulness of the two leads, the movie finally registers as much ado about very little. Read full review

Best movie of the year, by far. Great performances, brilliant use of split screen.

A brilliant piece of work!! Though it was so distracting to watch the split screens at the beginning, the story just draws you in. The conversation, as well as the chemistry and tension between the 2 people are captivating.

I thought, at first, that the split screen would drive me crazy, but after a few minutes became absorbed in the film. It's a different way of telling an old story, and therefore adds something to it. I saw it a second time so that I could see "how it was done."

The split screen takes some getting use to, but it actually wins you over and become an integral part of the movie. I'm not much for clever 'new' techniques, but this one eventually worked. As for the story, it was simple but well-acted. If you've ever been in love with The split screen takes some getting use to, but it actually wins you over and become an integral part of the movie.

Conversations with Other Women is a film for people who enjoy conversation and experimentation. It is very much an ambiguous and paradoxical film: is this improvisational honesty? Is it alternate reality? The split screen feels like it is a natural element and yet remains a fascinatingConversations with Other Women is a film for people who enjoy conversation and experimentation.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A love story although mis-titled as their is only one woman. Ms Carter is wonderful as always but Mr Eckhart is uncomfortable in the role. He is either making jokes or overly depressed. This must be to hide his true feelings, he wants back in her life, but he is not strong enough for me to want them to get back together. Even with his performance I liked the film, talky as it is. Ms Carter is sexy, aloof, mysterious, and I'd want to get back with her! She did make the right choice on not continuing with Mr Eckhart. A solid whimsical, poignant film I rate a B. One very important plus-the entire movie is filmed in split screen. At the start i was not sure if this was temporary and it was a bit off putting. As the film progressed I was able to see different POV's and it heightened my enjoyment. Must have been a very difficult task when editing; like putting together two different films that have to "work" side by side.… Expand

I didn't quite like its narrative style but the script has intelligent, precise and honest dialogues that even though was supported by the good work of the cast, in the end I couldn't help having a certain feeling that the tension and intensity got diluted too quickly.
