Conversations with Other Women

The viewer is first introduced to this couple as if they were strangers, but as the story progresses you realize they were married and divorced, and embarking on a one night stand after the mans sisters wedding. My question is this, who would be a bridesmaid at their ex husbands sisters wedding?! Alas, these are the things I think about when the movie is at a lull. The details of their lives are revealed randomly through their conversation, and it is much like watching two old friends catch up: they never actually refer to the fact that they are discussing themselves, instead he says things like “well my ex wife used to say that” and then you realize he is actually referring to her. It is a very intimate film, although you do not realize until the end that you never even know their names. They are simply listed as “man” and “woman” in the credits.
I am always a fan of the films Helena Bonham Carter chooses to star in. Aaron Eckhart stars opposite her, and they are both brilliant. They have great chemistry between them and never once does it feel forced. I highly recommend this movie to anyone.
