剧情：专业按摩师Eva（茱莉亚·路易斯-德瑞弗斯JuliaLouis-Dreyfus饰）是个离婚十年的女人，有个正处在叛逆期的女儿。在一个派对上，她在一个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JamesGandolfini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说起她的前夫的种种缺点，Eva发现，Marianne的前夫竟然就是自己的男朋友！她开始觉得Albert身上的缺点越来越明显，她该如何维持和Albert的这段关系？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. referential entries: Yaron Zilberman’s THE LATE QUARTET (2012, 6.7/10); Jonathan Levine’s LONG SHOT (2019, 7.0/10). 收起
