great movie!

I really liked this movie. The split-screen is hard to get used to at first, but it's really cool and original. Helena Bonham Carter was absolutely flawless as usual. This movie is kind of short though and it doesn't really have... Full review
Takes getting used to but a decent film

I have to admit, when this movie started I wondered why the director chose a split screen through out the movie but it became apparent. I don't think this movie would have been near as good without it. It was nice... Full review

I was lucky enough to see this movie on Monday, September 5, the last day of Telluride 2005. There were five other screenings that had sold out before that. I'd heard the about the film, but wasn't sure I had to... Full review

Interesting direction, great acting, poignant story. At first the split screen was a bit annoying but after 5 minutes of adaptation, it adds a lot of depth to the story and is very innovative.... Full review

This is perhaps the worst and most distracting movie I've ever seen. I fast forwarded thru most of it because the split screens made me dizzy!... Full review
a poor effort

i was surprised to see just how poor this movie was-cute double screen imaging did nothing to stop the film being about as entertaining as three headaches at once-going was a real waste of time and money to me-i normally enjoy... Full review
A Nice Creative Stretch in Film Making

Hans Canosa makes a strong debut with Gabrielle Zevin's intelligent screenplay (read two character dialogue) CONVERSATIONS WITH OTHER WOMEN and while some viewers may be distressed about his choice of use of the split screen presentation, Canosa's decision to be the... Full review
heart wrenching & romantic
Feb 18, 2007
postmanwhoalwaysringstwice - imdb.com
Given the way the story is told, "Conversations with Other Women" plays out as somewhat of a romantic mystery demanding a slow, selective unraveling by a keen audience. It follows two deliberately unnamed characters (a man and a woman) through the... Full review
Conversation with Helena Bonham Carter

Helena Bonham Carter is magical on film. Even when she is playing an ordinary person instead of an Edwardian heroine or a drug addict she simply lights up the screen. Much of one's enjoyment of this film will come down to... Full review
This movie's character development runs more like a play than a film and contains really excellent performances by Helena Bonham Carter and Aaron Eckhart. I was initially worried the split-screen effect would be distracting and irritating, however, not so! Splitting the... Full review

It is the way we are able to merge the two couples that makes this film exciting. If old times were great, we wouldn't let them get old,' says Bonham Carter's character. ... Full Review

Bonham Carter is particularly good, portraying her character as sexy, vulnerable, playful, guilty, evasive, wistful and resentful all at once. Conversations With Other Women is a brilliantly staged, superbly written and ultimately moving emotional drama that's reminiscent of Richard Linklater's Before Sunset. ... Full Review

Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie V
For any good film, you want to be able to say, "You really have to see it again to get everything. So that's one of the ways that we got these fantastically talented actors to get involved. You take a chance on love, and you can lose it. ... Full Review

Conversations With Other Women" not only insists that you notice the images and consider how they are telling the story, it confirms the aesthetic values of 86-year-old French director Eric Rohmer , whose loquacious comedies, proverbs and moral tales demonstrate that good talk and human faces are the most cinematic subjects in the world. ...

Canosa's grainy digital-video cinematography is flat and unappealing....By contrast, Carter is opaque, sullen, and generally less interesting.... ... Full Review
