Recommandations
- 90
The New York Times
Concentrating on the fine-tuned trivia that fuels so much television comedy, it also creates two bright, appealing heroines and watches them face life's little insults with fresh, disarming humor. - 89
Austin Chronicle
Rarely does a first film depict characters who seem so comfortably familiar, and even less frequently are these characters three-dimensional women. - 80
Empire
Only once dipping into huggy sentimentality, we are happily spared the run-of-the-mill best mates saga the premise threatens. Instead this is a deeper and wonderfully engrossing picture with characters easy to sympathise with - 80
Los Angeles Times
It's a downright refreshing experience to be presented with people you can identify with, recognize yourself in them, without being asked to like them. - 75
ReelViews
Holofcener has an ear for dialogue, and, as is often the case with the best character- centered films, a chief pleasure is simply enjoying what the participants have to say to one another. - 75
Chicago Sun-Times
One thing I like about the film is the way it teasingly introduces elements that, in other films, would lead to big dramatic formulas, and then sidesteps them. - 75
San Francisco Chronicle
I don't want to damn Holofcener's efforts with faint praise, but the best way to describe Walking and Talking is to say that it's pleasant and charming. - 70
Chicago Reader
Reasonably lifelike and nicely acted (Keener is especially good), but otherwise nothing special, this is an OK light comedy.
