Conversations With Other Women
(2005)
Starring: Helena Bonham Carter, Aaron Eckhart
Since the release of Conversations with Other Women in 2005 i have been constantly picking it up at the movie store, only to put it back when i chose something else over it. After i finally got around to watching this film i realised that my aversion had been a discernment well founded. This was a disappointing film for me. Although, the technical style of the dual screen film was fascinating and groundbreaking, it could not save the film from the disheartening plot that it was built around. Conversations With Other Women is a film about two people that the viewer is lead to believe are meeting for the first time and then engage in adulterous activity with each other. We later find out that the couple had been once married and now live on separate ends of the globe and are both either married or attached to other parties. This is a sad film about the lives of two unhappy people who seemingly will never find the elixir to cure their deep rooted relationship depression. Aaron Eckhart and Helena Bonham Carter are both, in their own respects, brilliant actors and actresses, but their is no chemistry between the two and neither of their true talents are able to shine through the stilted scripting of this film.
