Recommandations

Chicago Sun-Times
It's the film you need to see in order to understand why the ending of "As Good As It Gets" was phony. - 75
ReelViews
Living Out Loud is not a monumental motion picture. In fact, in many ways, it's quite the opposite - a quiet, unassuming story of friendship and love that uses richly-developed characters to charm its audience. - 75
Rolling Stone
LaGravenese may be unsteady at the helm, but his film insinuates like a torch song that keeps messing with your head. - 70
The New York Times
The filmmaker has borrowed from Chekhov the soul-baring introspection that can be so ineffable on the page or stage yet becomes so damply sensitive and dramatically vague on screen. - 63
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
So why does the thing play like a mediocre sitcom stripped of its laugh-track? - 60
Film Threat
LaGravenese has an uncanny ability to write realistic female characters. - 50
Austin Chronicle
Unfortunately, there's not much of a story to go with Hunter's engaging performance and LaGravenese's words. - 50
Christian Science Monitor
The plot is promising and the acting is earnest, but in the end the movie doesn't quite work.
