Leave your thoughts about Walking and Talking.
| The New York TimesElvis MitchellConcentrating 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. |
| Austin ChronicleAlison MacorRarely does a first film depict characters who seem so comfortably familiar, and even less frequently are these characters three-dimensional women. |
| USA TodayMike ClarkEventually, the impression is created of notes for good scenes full of pungent observations and sharp asides, but without fully developed drama or emotion, leaving a sketchy, wispy feeling when all is said and done. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...the main emphisis appears to be on making the characters sound "clever" and "witty." |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasIt's a downright refreshing experience to be presented with people you can identify with, recognize yourself in them, without being asked to like them. |
| EmpireDeborah BrownOnly 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 |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliHolofcener 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. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertOne 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. |
| San Francisco ChronicleEdward GuthmannI 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. |
| LarsenOnFilmJosh Larsen...bears all the markings of the exquisitely observed relationship dramedies that Nicole Holofcener would go on to make. |
