客户介绍下认识了一个女诗人Marianne;又在另一个朋友的介绍下认识了一个中年离婚男人Albert(詹姆斯·甘多菲尼 James Gandolfini 饰)。一开始她对肥肥的Albert并无好感,但在第一次约会之后,她发现了他身上某些地方挺吸引她的,两人很快确立了关系。同时,女诗人Marianne也成为Eva的客户,她经常上门为她按摩,两人也成了无话不说的好朋友。Marianne向Eva说起她的前夫的
《无须多言》是男主角詹姆斯·甘多菲尼去世前倒数第二部电影,影片结尾处字幕写着“献给吉姆”。是一部平实近人、温情动人的“话痨体”爱情电影,前半段风趣幽默令我嘴角上扬,后半段却不禁陷入深思和困惑,你是否也会因别人的一席话,而开始看不清你面前的那个人,可你明明自以为很了解他了啊。片中很多幽默的对话、真实的细节,也很喜欢两个角色及其之间的感情,令人心安。
Since rom-com for grown-ups has officially become a dying species in Hollywood-land, one must go back a few years to find some decent ones, ENOUGH SAID, the fifth feature of Nicole Holofcener, is a rare movie showcase for beloved TV megastar Julia Louis-Dreyfus, playing Eva, a divorcée who earns her living as a masseuse, and incidentally twigs that the man she is currently dating, Albert (Gandolfini), is in fact the ex-husband of her new client Marianne (Keener), what will you do under such circumstance?
Like as not, we might have the same reflexive reaction as Eva, who promptly mines the opportunity to get to know the lowdown of Albert by subtly cajoling Marianne to open up about their failed marriage, presumably it gets her an upper hand of appraisal whether Albert is the right person for her, but rubbed off on Marianne’s negative opinions about him, Eva ineluctably puts strains on their inchoate romance, until, she is finally got busted and has to face the music.
As a trenchant object lesson on “one woman’s meat is another woman’s poison and vice versa”, ENOUGH SAID nonetheless, coats its white-bread central crisis with a glistening cast, Louis-Dreyfus’ comical chops and self-deprecating sharp-wittedness spiritedly rounds off Eva’s commonplace but endearing persona, and Gandolfini (reaping awards-season trophies in his penultimate movie, still missing out a posthumous Oscar-nomination, which colors the movie’s serio-comic tone with a whiff of doleful sadness), excellently imparts an avuncular, rough-around-the-edge vibe and vamps it up with his underutilized funny bone, an image couldn’t be more different from his iconic work in THE SOPRANOS, and audience can certainly abandon oneself in the sparks-fly chemistry between these two veteran performers, plus the icing on the cake from a Bohemian Catherine Keener (overcoming the unsavory characterization of a bad-mouthing ex-wife with unfeigned spontaneity and nonplussed frustration) and a radiant but sometimes clueless Toni Colette as Eva’s best friend Sarah.
A secondary plot pivoting on a middle-aged parent’s bittersweet acceptance of their child’s induction of adult hood puts both Eva and Albert in the same position and counterpoises the romantic pell-mell with a weepy mood that might hit the movie’s target audience hardest. But when all is said and done, witty, sophisticated and intrinsically funny, ENOUGH SAID might be quintessentially televisual in its building blocks, but no one should disparage its illuminating relationship tenet in the nucleus.

难道这就是所谓的知音体话唠片,中年大叔大婶的小清新不是咱这年龄段能感同身受的,一星送这已逝的James倒数第二部公映电影。
这是很纠结的故事,充满了讽刺但又不乏幽默。总得来事还不错
看到了温情,看到了爱,岁月静好!
这是一部温情而幽默的成人喜剧,它的幽默之处是低调而密集的,像电影一样透着稳重的成熟,而在与此同时,也能轻柔地触碰到观众的内心。女主角茱莉亚以灵动的表演出色地塑造了一个古灵精怪般的中年女性,她与詹姆斯·甘多菲尼的搭配有不错的化学反应,确实演绎出了无须多言的意境。
很温馨的电影
红酒型喜剧。还是女主更勇敢一些,尽管慢了些。
很不错了
【B-】原来是中老年题材流水账爱情轻喜剧……其实片子还可以啦,但我觉得与其自己看不如给我爸我妈看Orz
精雕细琢的台词让本身较老套的剧情显得颇有新意。温馨的中年爱情小品加上完美的两位表演。甘多菲尼遗作
如果能發現問題,當然不採取立場會更好
对白,人与人之间关系的探讨,按摩身体或心灵。
很白, 却真实无比的中年小品. 女儿离开家去东部上大学的桥段还好让我难过了一阵子. 片尾的"For Jim," 很难想象片中慈父形象的James Gandolfini如今就葬在了我家街区的另一边.
爱与不爱,对与不对,可能最关键就在于合适与不合适……在被伤害后人都会本能的更加小心谨慎,但若做的过头,可能真的就会错过被爱机会。所以,无需多言,放手去爱吧!很治愈很细腻很聪明的一部片子,里面的配乐都很棒,有几个小细节导演把握的恰到好处,男主居然不在了,为了大爱的二当家再多一星~!
跟《请给予》一样,都是那种小成本的独立小片,带点生活困惑与感悟。趣味大概是,同时感受爱情初期与婚后多年的情绪,并产生碰撞。极有魅力的甘多菲尼
爱无需多言 总要有一个人先勇敢
即使是二十多岁独立的男女也一样有防备,自我保护机制总是随着年龄增长而愈发完善的。
一些事是『自己』的,一些事是『我们』的,为何不懂得开口叫人帮你抬一把按摩桌,又为何总随性地为别人出谋划策,好在最后这些问题都得到了改善。非常知性,非常平实,可能我心理年龄已经老到偏爱这种中年人喜剧了吧。R.I.P.Gandolfini,you are brilliant.
到处都是尴尬的笑容。。。
with F @cinemapolis. 影院里又是空空荡荡,只有我俩和几对老奶奶观众。故事由细节层层剥开,用心恰到好处。喜欢他们并肩而坐时的自然和温情。回来才知剧终时的“for Jim"是给今年六月已故去的男主。第二天和F又说起,记得不只要protect自己,还要"protect us"。
是女导演擅长的温馨小品,对话非常可爱,中年chick-flick就应该是这样。好好斟酌台词,烂俗的剧情也可以讲出新意啊。这竟然就是甘多菲尼最后一部电影了,心有戚戚焉
