Rating:  - A very interesting conversation
"Conversations with other women" was a really good movie. Although some may find the split screen annoying, I found it very interesting and insightful. The entirety of your movie is almost all in real time, and the addition of the split screen gives us an interesting look into the many layers of this relationship, as well as of their past. The movie is about a man and a woman at a wedding; they start talking and it is obvious there is something more between them. As the movie takes us through their interactions and glimpses of the past, we get to know these two rather complicated individuals.
Aaron Eckhart and Helena Bonham Carter are truly fantastic in their portrayal of these two interesting, yet very normal individuals. In fact, they may very well just be your run-of-the-mill people at a wedding. They have made these characters very interesting and to top it all off is the witty and very entertaining dialogue. This movie is completely character driven and completely worth watching.
Rating: - Good Movie Bad DVD
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It has a compelling story and believable characters.
The only problem I had with it is technical in nature. I had originally rented the movie twice through Netflix but had playback problems. It would get to a specific point in the movie and would become choppy thereafter. I decided to go ahead and purchase the movie assuming I'd gotten the same DVD twice and that there were scratches that were causing the problem. I had the same exact problem with the pristine DVD.
At this point I was convinced it was a manufacturing defect so I contacted the distribution company. They apparently already knew of the problem and sent me a new copy of the movie at no charge to me. It plays perfectly.
This is the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars. As long as this movie has been out it stinks that they still have the bad copies in circulation.
Rating: - Love this Movie
I, personally, adore this movie. It will especially touch anyone with a great past relationship that ended briefly. Or a young love, perhaps. Two wonderful actors, and great dialogue. I was just captivated by this movie by the start. I especially loved the silent cut-ins of the two in the past together. It's really a great independent film, and who doesn't love Helena Bodham Carter?
Rating:  - Gets slack in the sack
This movie starts as a sharp and engaging study of two people flirting and edging around some unspecified mutual history, but seems to go completely limp when, ahem, the deed is done. Perhaps the characters just wear out their welcome: Only Woody Allen can really make you care to spend two hours with self-obsessed and neurotic New Yorkers, and even he can't do it all of the time. The more I found out about these two the less interesting they seemed, and I found myself checking the time. The split-screen works well as the characters' identities unspool, but again loses its punch as the hours roll by. One unexpected bright spot: quirky and cool songs by the new first lady of France!
