Conversations with Other Women - 2005 ****


Short but effective. I love these films where you are introduced to only one or two main characters and then throughout the course of the film, you come to know their stories and their motives for their actions.
Eckhart was better than I imagined he would be, meeting Bonham Carter at a wedding (that of his sister, and her as the 7th bridesmaid). Throughout the evening they flirt, laugh, smile and reminisce about the past. Things take a drastic turn as the wedding winds down for the night, and they both must decide whether to go to bed together, or stay faithful to their respected other halves.
Very well acted. Gripping from start to finish and painfully realistic.
