BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Edward Rollin Kee casting (Bill and Karen) cast me and Louise Devery as Background Actors (SAG) with picture cars on this film. I was parked in my 1979 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale and Louise Devery in her 1981 Chevy Citation was double parked next to me. I looked over to her and watched her put on her makeup. When she looked at me I smiled. When I got out of my car I noticed her directional was not working. Well guess what, I'm still fixing her car after all these years. Coincidentally we were later paired up as a couple in the final scene. I just wanted to mention that we are now getting married 11 years later on December 8th, 2007. I thought it would be appropriate to post this comment to mention how important "Living Out Loud" was to me. Not only is it a great film and has a wonderful cast, I met the "Love Of My Life, on the set. I just wanted the world to know. All the best from Edward Rollin and Louise Devery!

LFRibeiro I absolutely adore this movie; in large measure for Holly Hunter and the rest for the writing that so perfectly captures the mess that can go on in middle-age. You are far from dead, but, often times, you're at a huge cross-roads. What matters? What should one commit to? What about one's wants? Hopes? Dreams? Is everything dead because you're old enough to know "know better?" These are questions this film tackles straight one in a funny, poignant fashion. In addition, this is a terrific slice-of-life of that mid-life transition: painful, funny, awkward, over-zealous, hopeful... Great acting from Hunter, DeVito and the great Queen Latifah. I usually abhore a soundtrack that directs audience response, but this one is just overt and yet subtle enough to work wonders. Brownstone and The Confessional/If You Love Me is a tremendous film moment. Enjoy!

aguasmarked Sometimes I feel I'm the only straight guy who liked this movie. I liked it a lot. I loved the writing, the acting, the music. And Holly Hunter's dance, under ecstasy, at the lesbian club is one of those film moments I took with me and stayed with me and if I play the soundtrack in my car - I relive the moment totally. Richard Le Gravenais the writer, director of this movie was the writer of "The Ref" and other movies I always keep kind of handy. I've played "Living Out Loud" after dinner for friends who had never seen it. I've done it three times and, each time, it was a hit with the gals and gay guys the others made fun of the movie and were subsequently thrown out of the room. Interesting, at least for me, to think that this movie has made me question myself. I wish it happened more often at the movies.

easmith03 The movie focuses on Judy (Hunter) dealing with her post divorce life. I think Judy was supposed have some problems/complexities to her that would make the audience feel some sympathy for her. But, for me I just found her to be unlikeable. The movie crawls in spots, seeming to have no point to the actions on the screen. I was looking at my watch before the movie was 1/2 over, hoping as each scene wound down, the credits would start to roll.
