- 88New York PostNew York PostIt's brilliant work.
- 80SalonAndrew O'HehirSalonAndrew O'HehirI found the film powerfully erotic, although it has minimal nudity and no explicit sex.
- 75TV Guide MagazineKen FoxTV Guide MagazineKen FoxThe fine acting and sexy chemistry between Bonham Carter and Eckhart make it work.
- 70Village VoiceVillage VoiceThough the movie is occasionally too clever-talky for its own good, it has the authentic ring of an elegy for love lost when one partner grows up while the other runs in place.
- 70Los Angeles TimesCarina ChocanoLos Angeles TimesCarina ChocanoAn intimate movie in every sense, Conversations With Other Women sets out to explore well-trammeled yet at the same time uncharted territory without grinding any axes. What it offers is a modest fantasy that will be familiar to contemporaries of Bonham Carter and Eckhart especially. It's sad and funny, satisfying and frustrating, totally familiar.
- 67Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerChristian Science MonitorPeter RainerThe actors, who portray a reunion that is more sparring match than love fest, strike occasional sparks.
- 60The Hollywood ReporterThe Hollywood ReporterThat the movie holds viewers' attention despite its contrivances is a testament to the script and acting.
- 60VarietyTodd McCarthyVarietyTodd McCarthyThe battle of the sexes is restaged to clever but inconsequential effect in Conversations With Other Women. Very much a case of old wine in a new bottle.
- 60The New York TimesDana StevensThe New York TimesDana StevensNone of it is quite believable -- the film is too studied, too forward in its conceits to be entirely satisfying -- but Mr. Eckhart and Ms. Bonham Carter approach their roles with intelligence and conviction.
- 50The New YorkerAnthony LaneThe New YorkerAnthony LaneIn the end, the problem with Conversations with Other Women is not that it pulls an ordinary romance into unfamiliar shapes but that it doesn't pull far enough. It may be dotted with fine observations, yet somehow the charm of its novelty grows stale, and the airless feeling of a closed set begins to fester.
