Emma Cochrane Empire Magazine Who'd have thought spending 90 minutes with a bunch of neurotic women could be such fun? An intelligent, unassuming drama that's never less than enjoyable. Rated: 4/5 Dec 30, 2006 Full Review Geoff Andrew Time Out Observed without corny resolutions and paced to allow for reflection, the film is understated but spot on. Feb 9, 2006 Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com Michelle isn't an easy woman to relate to let alone like, yet as the film progresses I was drawn more and more towards her inner warmth and charm discovering pieces of myself in her own persona. Rated: 3.5/4 Jun 19, 2003 Full Review Kaleem Aftab The List Despite the heavy subject matter, the film is packed full of wry observations that are crystalized by a stellar performance from Catherine Keener. Rated: 4/5 Apr 17, 2019 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: B Jan 27, 2013 Full Review Kelly Kessler Common Sense Media Mature story about relationships and family.
