Critic Reviews of "Playing by Heart"
VarietyMarch 26, 2009Carroll's characters spend so much time talking, albeit intelligently, that the connections they make seem peculiarly synthetic.
Chicago ReaderJune 03, 2006This charming romantic comedy with a Los Angeles setting cuts between seemingly unconnected miniplots the way some Robert Altman movies do.
Time OutJune 03, 2006All of these characters are more interesting when things are going badly for them than when the tide has turned, and Carroll's determination to make the final reel an extended bout of audience tummy tickling is disappointingly conventional.
Los Angeles TimesFebruary 14, 2001If Playing by Heart is the kind of film that used to be known as a "woman's picture," it certainly provides more emotional nourishment than most other mainstream movies generate these days.
ReelViewsJanuary 01, 2000The movie is consistently well-acted and features a gallery of characters so affable that it's difficult to actively dislike any of them, or, for that matter, the film as a whole.
New York TimesJanuary 01, 2000For all its artificiality, Playing by Heart percolates with an earnest charm.
Sight and SoundJune 18, 2012Carroll's milieu is resolutely middle class and the crises encountered all too predictable.
Combustible CelluloidJune 03, 2006A very slight and inoffensive movie. It's a lot like L.A. itself, all surface, soothing and warm.
Film ThreatJune 03, 2006The brightest spot belongs to Angelina Jolie, who is so compelling to watch she has chemistry with the furniture.
Reeling ReviewsApril 09, 2005Playing By Heart tries hard and sometimes succeeds -- and Jolie is terrific.
rec.arts.movies.reviewsOctober 13, 2004Nothing more than merely watchable film.
Nick's Flick PicksMarch 19, 2003The dozen or so lead characters of Playing By Heart fear silence the way Biblical people feared locusts.
