Salon.com (Andrew O'Hehir)

I found the film powerfully erotic, although it has minimal nudity and no explicit sex. ...read the complete Conversations With Other Women movie review at Salon.com (Andrew O'Hehir)

Greenwich Village Gazette (Eric Lurio)

This is an experiment. Hans Canosa is testing out a gimmick, which involves two cameras and the results doing a split screen within an anamorphic widescreen. It's a cute trick had it been ...read the complete Conversations With Other Women movie review at Greenwich Village Gazette (Eric Lurio)

TV Guide (Ken Fox)

The fine acting and sexy chemistry between Bonham Carter and Eckhart make it work. ...read the complete Conversations With Other Women movie review at TV Guide (Ken Fox)

For once, the gimmick is a perfect reflection of the characters. ...read the complete Conversations With Other Women movie review at The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (Rick Groen)

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 the complete Conversations With Other Women movie review at Boston Globe (Ty Burr)

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 the complete Conversations With Other Women movie review at Washington Post (Ann Hornaday)

Village Voice (Ella Taylor)

Though the movie is occasionally too clever-talky for its own good, it has the authentic ring of an elegy for love lost when one partner grows up while the other runs in place. ...read the complete Conversations With Other Women movie review at Village Voice (Ella Taylor)

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 ...read the complete Conversations With Other Women movie review at Los Angeles Times (Carina Chocano)

Christian Science Monitor (Peter Rainer)

The actors, who portray a reunion that is more sparring match than love fest, strike occasional sparks. ...read the complete Conversations With Other Women movie review at Christian Science Monitor (Peter Rainer)

Chicago Tribune (Michael Phillips)

This minor relationship picture comes and goes, but her (Carter's) performance lingers. ...read the complete Conversations With Other Women movie review at Chicago Tribune (Michael Phillips)

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 the complete Conversations With Other Women movie review at Variety (Todd McCarthy)

The Hollywood Reporter (John DeFore)

That the movie holds viewers' attention despite its contrivances is a testament to the script and acting. ...read the complete Conversations With Other Women movie review at The Hollywood Reporter (John DeFore)

The New York Times (A.O. Scott)

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 the complete Conversations With Other Women movie review at The New York Times (A.O. Scott)

The New Yorker (Anthony Lane)

In the end, the problem with Conversations with Other Women is not that it pulls an ordinary romance into unfamiliar shapes but that it doesn't pull far enough. It may be dotted with fine observations, yet somehow the charm of its novelty grows stale, ...read the complete Conversations With Other Women movie review at The New Yorker (Anthony Lane)

Chicago Reader (Jonathan Rosenbaum)

Despite the resourcefulness of the two leads, the movie finally registers as much ado about very little. ...read the complete Conversations With Other Women movie review at Chicago Reader (Jonathan Rosenbaum)
