Review of Enough Said (2013) by Noah C — 06 Jan 2014

Despite the surface of Enough Said's initial archetype, the film manages to rise above the romantic comedy cliches and archetypes with the help of an impeccably adult script, as well as two utterly charming and emotionally tangible main actors.

Holofcener's direction is subdued, avoiding flashy camera shots and blocking and instead keeping the camera tight on every actor, avoiding gravitas for true intimacy between the audience and the characters.

James Gandolfini and Julia Louis-Dreyfusare both brilliant in the film, creating one of the most tangible and genuine on screen relationships all year. Gandolfini's performance is the personification of warmth and comfort, for the man was and always will be a gentle giant.

However, it is Dreyfus that steels the movie, well earning her Golden Globe nomination for best actress. She is willing to compromise traditional female quality's to remain as genuine and as lovable as the script demands.

Enough Said, while not terribly original, manages to rise above its romantic comedy archetypes by delivering top notch performances and a utterly charming script, Enough Said is utterly charming in every way!
