Wonderful heart-warming melancholy poignant bittersweet funny movie starring James Gandolfini and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. They are both excellent actors and played divorced people who begin a relationship; however, Julia's new massage therapy client is the ex-wife of James and gradually her perspective and feelings about the relationship change as she takes in all this negative stuff spewed by the ex. And to make things worse, Julia doesn't tell either the ex-wife or her new boyfriend.
The movie is not predictable and doesn't paint any of the characters as all good or all bad. The dialogue is beyond perfect and there are no scenes which are unbelievable. and its not just about the new relationship; its also about friendship and neediness and parents and children.
This has now become my favorite Nicole Holofcener film. But her other ones are very much worth seeing; especially Friends with Money.
