‘Enough Said’ Director Talks Oscars, James Gandolfini and Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ Chemistry: ‘It Was Pretty Instantaneous’

“Both he and Julia are incredible in the movie. But competitions are silly … and I’m sure by saying this it will come back to bite me in the ass, but plenty of people have won Oscars for roles and it’s just been ridiculous,” Nicole Holofcener tells TheWrap

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.”
