    Salon.com | Andrew O'Hehir

    I found the film powerfully erotic, although it has minimal nudity and no explicit sex. Read full review

    Boston Globe | Ty Burr

    The charm of Conversations With Other Women, a gimmicky but oddly moving two-character drama that flies in from who knows where, is its intelligentknowingness. Read full review

    San Francisco Chronicle | Mick LaSalle

    A smart, sexy romantic drama, directed within an inch of its life by Hans Canosa. Read full review

    The Onion A.V. Club | Tasha Robinson

    Conversations is well-calculated and well-ordered, and it manages an equilibrium that a science lab would envy. Read full review

    Washington Post | Ann Hornaday

    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. Read full review

    Los Angeles Times | Carina Chocano

    An intimate movie in every sense, Conversations With Other Women sets out to explore well-trammeled yet at the same time uncharted territory without grinding any axes. What it offers is a modest fantasy that will be familiar to contemporaries of Bonham Carter and Eckhart especially. It's sad and funny, satisfying and frustrating, totally familiar. Read full review

    That the movie holds viewers' attention despite its contrivances is a testament to the script and acting. Read full review

    Variety | Todd McCarthy

    The battle of the sexes is restaged to clever but inconsequential effect in Conversations With Other Women. Very much a case of old wine in a new bottle. Read full review

    The New York Times | Dana Stevens

    None of it is quite believable -- the film is too studied, too forward in its conceits to be entirely satisfying -- but Mr. Eckhart and Ms. Bonham Carter approach their roles with intelligence and conviction. Read full review

Information for Parents
Common Sense Media says Iffy for 16+ Pining affair for mature art house fans.
What Parents Need to Know Parents need to know that the couple in this film are married to others, talk about how wrong it is to sleep together, but do it anyway. Then they collude to lie to each others' partners about what they've just done. The man also talks about killing himself out of loneliness and longing, which may be disturbing to some viewers.
  • Families can talk about relationships. What roles do former flames play in current relationships? Can you have any lingering sentimental feelings or can you move on without looking back? This is also a good opportunity to talk to teens about what kind of relationship they want to be in. Would you put up with a relationship like the one Sarah has with the man? What are signs that your boyfriend or girlfriend is still hung up on someone else? How do you know whether to stay with that person or not?
The good stuff
  • message true0 Positive messages: The woman is married with children and the man is living with his girlfriend, but the main characters still sleep with each other. Then they collude with each other to lie to their respective partners about it. The film also seems to be saying that suicidal depression and loneliness are romantic.
What to watch for
  • violence false0 Violence: The man talks about killing himself and the two of them killing themselves together when they're old.
  • sex false5 Sex: A woman and a man in other relationships sleep with each other. The woman's bare breasts are visible. There's lots of kissing and memories, depicted in a split screen of previous lovemaking as a younger couple. In one scene, a man's naked butt is visible.
  • language false3 Language: Scant cursing. Several uses of "f--k" and one use of "bulls--t."
  • consumerism false0 Consumerism: Not an issue
  • drugsalcoholtobacco false3 Drinking, drugs and smoking: The woman chain smokes. The man and woman drink some champagne.
