The film explores the story of Eva (Julia Louis Dreyfus), an absolute who meets Albert (James Gandolfini) and both live in a new story of very close friendship. As their relationship blossoms quickly, Eva befriends Marianne (Katherine Keener), a different girl who works in the massage business as well. Suddenly, Eva finds herself skeptical of her relationship with Albert and perhaps there will be more doubt when she learns Marianne's previous truth.
On its own, 'Enough Said' is a sweet and charming little movie - but there's no question the loss of its beloved leading man lends the picture extra, unexpected pathos.
The easy chemistry between Louis-Dreyfus and Gandolfini is wonderfully charming - you're rooting for them even as the falsehoods pile up and the poison begins to flow.
In the terse space film provides, Holofcener capturing her characters deftly. We know their fears, needs, lonesomeness. We trust the cars they drive, the food they eat, the rooms they keep tidy, or not.

What a concept -- an adult romantic comedy that's equally wise and playful, with mold-breaking performances by James Gandolfini and Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
It's slightly magical. It's also just the art and craft of good acting; Julia Louis-Dreyfus, wonderful actress, James Gandolfini, wonderful actor. R.I.P. James. Enough Said.
