SHOW NOTES We just watched Nicole Holofcener’s simple but sweet romantic drama Enough Said , starring Julia Louis-Dreyfuss and – in his final role – James Gandolfini.

And just how much do we all miss Gandolfini? https://celluloidjunkies.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/We-Just-Watched-Enough-Said-2013.mp3 The post We Just Watched – Enough Said (2013) first appeared on Celluloid Junkies .

SHOW NOTES We just watched Maggie Gyllenhaal’s brand new film The Lost Daughter , starring Olivia Colman and Dakota Johnson. Who’s the ‘lost daughter’? How perfect is Colman? When is the right time to return a child’s doll you’ve stolen? Contains spoilers galore, so make sure you see the film before you listen to the podcast.
