More reviews for "Conversations"...

-"Bonham Carter is equally good as she uses the emotional distance of flirtation to keep intimacy at arm's length, fully embodying the comment: "The illusion of effortlessness takes great effort indeed."

-"fine acting and sexy chemistry between Bonham Carter and Eckhart make it work. "

-"It's about adults, as well, dealing with the romantic aspirations of two middle-aged people and their accumulated choices and regrets. Both Bonham Carter and Eckhart are good at giving us their characters' practiced surface and the truth that's underneath it. Eckhart's smile is about as engaging and thoroughly untrustworthy as that of anyone in the current cinema, and our wondering about him is part of the movie's suspense. Likewise, Bonham Carter's prickliness, as the woman, could be the indication of either strong, uncompromising character or mere irritability. "

-"As for Bonham Carter, Tim Burton movies and new motherhood have kept her from wandering of late into roles like this, which is our loss. Always a vivid actress, she gets more interesting with each passing year -- more adept at conveying undercurrents of passion, knowledge, wit, dread. Age genuinely becomes Carter, unlike most of her bland Hollywood peers, and I'm beginning to think we haven't seen her best work yet."

-"Writer Gabrielle Zevin has an acerbic, peppery tone, especially when it comes to Bonham Carter's pungent observations on aging, and director Hans Canosa uses what could be an irritating split-screen conceit to its full advantage, making "Conversations With Other Women" a rather ingenious experiment in structure. The film ultimately becomes too contrived to be anything but a fleeting diversion, but kudos to these emerging filmmakers for daring to make something a little bit different and, for the most part, intriguing. And props to the gorgeously haggard Bonham Carter for daring to age so honestly on film."

-"Bonham Carter transcends all that, and in her cool, wryly self-mocking fashion she manages to reveal all sorts of inner-life tensions. This minor relationship picture comes and goes, but her performance lingers."

-"Carter gives a wise and wonderfully rueful performance"
