Flicks, Steve Newall
flicksDon’t be put off by Enough Said being described as a romantic comedy. Free of most cliches of its genre, it’s more a slow-burning adult drama full of chuckles derived from well-written characters and top-notch acting than the lesser fare we’ve seen in recent times as rom-coms have run out of steam.

Five of went to see "Enough Said" today. Of the 40 or so people present, there were 8 guys and the Loafers were 4 of them! (Cushla came with us too).

pressGandolfini delivers a funny, poignant performance befitting a great actor. It’s heartbreaking that the film doesn’t measure up to his exemplary turn.
Hollywood Reporter

Empire Magazine
pressSharp, generous, funny, warm and grown up... a charming, big-hearted movie and a fitting valediction to a much-mourned actor.
