Critics' reviews

"Rarely does a first film depict characters who seem so comfortably familiar, and even less frequently are these characters three-dimensional women."

Alison Macor: Austin Chronicle
"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."

Kevin Thomas: Los Angeles Times
"Walking and Talking is saved from utter banality by a script dotted with occasional buoyant moments of tenderness and wit, as well as by the light touch of its attractive cast."

Lisa Schwarzbaum: Entertainment Weekly
"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."

James Berardinelli: ReelViews
"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."

Edward Guthmann: SFgate
"A deep and wonderfully engrossing picture with characters easy to sympathise with"
