Nicole Holofcener‘s “Enough Said” stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus as a warm and likable masseuse who does a very bad thing.
Instead of letting a promising relationship with a middle-aged man blossom naturally, she milks his ex-wife, who also happens to be a client, for information on his faults and foibles. Neither the boyfriend nor the ex-wife are aware of the overlap, which prompts moments of hilarity, but also tragedy.
In the hands ofย writer-director Holofcener, a premise that could have been an episode of “Two and a Half Men” instead becomes something complex and true to life. It’s a warm and witty film, one that TheWrap’s critic Alonso Duralde writes “burnishes [Holofcener’s]ย reputation as one of this generation’s great storytellers.”
