Review of Enough Said (2013) by Cynthia S — 24 Feb 2014

The outstanding romantic comedy "Enough Said" is one of the best movies of 2013!!! Enough Said! My review is over! OK, it is not really over, as you know there will be plenty of puns said or written (pick ur poison) in my movie reviews; and this one is no different. Director Nicole Holofcener, who has mastered the art of independent romantic comedy movies, has developed her supreme film in "Enough Said". The movie stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Eva, a middle-aged divorcée masseuse and mother of a teen female on her way to college. Eva falls for Albert; he himself being middle aged, divorced, and a parent of a teen female on her way to college. During the same time of the Eva and Albert blossoming romance period, Eva befriends an uptight Marianne, who happens to be Albert's ex-wife; let's just say that Marianne does not think at all that Albert is a PHAT Albert. Holofcener again does not do hollow work with her expert direction and enigmatic screenplay of an independent movie, but "Enough Said" is her best. Julia Louis-Dreyfus had the right touch with her captivating starring performance as Eva the masseuse. The late great James Gandolfini was a hit with his low-key but attention-getting performance as Albert. Holofcener favorite Catherine Keener once again delivered with her supporting work here as Marianne. I cannot say enough how much I was enamored with "Enough Said", but I think I said enough for you to rub into this one, now!

***** Excellent.
