Critic Reviews

L.A. Weekly - F. X. Feeney

LaGravenese (writer of "The Fisher King," adapter of "The Bridges of Madison County," making his directorial debut) eschews distractions of style and molds our attention to the performances. Read full review

The New Yorker - David Denby

The sinews in Holly Hunter's neck and arms tighten like cables hauled in by a winch; she's all wired up, and in Richard LaGravenese's lovely comedy about loneliness in New York she uses the tension as a source of comedy. Read full review

Slate - David Edelstein

Living Out Loud becomes an ode to openness, to letting in everything that the world throws at you. Read full review

Newsweek - David Ansen

Living Out Loud is far from seamless -- the last third of the movie has a choppy rhythm and an ending that doesn't quite work -- but it's alive in all the ways that count. Read full review

Film Threat - J.D. LaFrance

LaGravenese has an uncanny ability to write realistic female characters. Read full review

Village Voice - Gary Susman

Richard LaGravenese peppers his directorial debut with the narrative trickery (fantasy sequences, flashbacks) that often tangles his sceenplays ("The Fisher King," "Beloved"). Read full review

TV Guide Magazine - Maitland McDonagh

Ostensibly an "adult comedy" about serious things, screenwriter Richard LaGravenese's disjointed directing debut rings profoundly false, a story about class distinctions and suffering conceived and executed in privilege. Read full review
