ENOUGH SAID [2013]

Writer/director Nicole Holofcener teams up Julia Louis-Dreyfus & James Gandolfini with great success in the bittersweet romantic comedy/drama Enough Said.
The two leads have a wonderfully believable chemistry but the story is also blessed with a gaggle of interesting supporting characters that make me wish the film was just a bit longer to get to know them as well.  Far from the usual youth oriented fluff these films tend to be, Enough Said offers a very adult outlook on such subjects as divorce, parenting and sex with an aged flabby body.  It's well acted, well written and nicely paced but I wish it was just 15 or 20 minutes longer.
