Directed by Nicole Holofcener, the story of Enough Said revolves around Eva (Julia Louis) who is divorced with one daughter and professionally a Masseuse. When invited by her friends, she goes to a party and meets two people there who change her life completely.

The first person she meets at the party is Marianne (Catherine Kenner), a middle-aged divorced woman and a poet by profession. Sooner than later, Marianne becomes a massage client of Eva, and they eventually become good friends. The second person Eva meets at the party is Albert (James Gandolfini) who is a middle-aged divorced man facing very similar problems to Eva. Eventually, they start dating each other, and as their story moves forward some complications arise.
Fun Fact: James Gandolfini was initially dubious about taking on the part of Albert as he didn’t feel it was a natural fit for him. Ironically, he got some of the best notices of his career for his performance in the film.
Realistic and mature in every aspect, Enough Said is comprised of spectacular performances by Julia Louis and James Gandolfini as they are relatable, simple and real. Both the actors played contrasting roles than they usually do, which shows how mature and talented they are as actors. Unfortunately, this was the last move of James Gandolfini since he passed away in a tragic accident last year.
The direction by Nicole Holofcener was perfect. The strongest element of Enough Said after its acting is its script. It’s perfectly paced, a little slow sometimes, but that will not get you out of the story. The movie is emotionally rich, it is as real as it gets when it comes to relationships. Every emotion is handled very well by Nicole and the dialogues between the two lead characters (Albert and Eva) were perfect and there were no cheesy and unnecessary moments to drag the movie.
Enough Said aptly shows the difference that love makes in a person’s life. It is flawless, real and filled with genuine emotions. I give it a four out of five and recommend everyone to watch. Rent ‘Enough Said’ on Amazon here.
