Enough Said

Enough Said (2013) starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus, James Gandolfini, Catherine Keener, Toni Collette. Louis-Dreyfus stars in this charming romantic comedy as Eva, a middle-aged woman who falls in love with and imperfect man named Albert (Gandolfini) and at the same time becomes friends with his ex-wife, Marianne (Keener). The catch is, Eva doesn't know at first that Albert and Marianne are exes. She dates Albert and listens to Marianne criticize her ex, but doesn't put the two together until it's too late. It's refreshing to see a romance between two mature people on screen (they both have grown children). And it's squirm-inducing to watch Louis-Dreyfus wriggle when Albert and Marianne find out that she's been trying to sustain relationships with both of them at the same time. I felt profound sympathy for all the characters, and really enjoyed the movie. (The subtitles for the hearing-impaired are quite good and legible.) Grade: B+
