Synopsis
In this black comedy, when a groomsman and bridesmaid flirt with each other at a wedding reception, the sexual tension seems spontaneous. But as the conversation deepens, their previous life togehter is revealed. They were in fact married and divorced years ago, yet deep feelings remain . . . As they break from the party to a hotel room, the flirtation turns into a night filled with passion and remorse. Shot with multiple cameras, the entire film will be presented in split screen. Often, as one character speaks on screen, we will see the reaction of the other character in the opposite screen. When the couple makes love on one screen, the other screen will show different angles or sometimes show them making love as young adults. When a character describes the past, a flashback may appear on the opposite screen. These contrasting perspectives will reveal how we all view the past and the present through different lenses.

Critics' reviews
- "The fine acting and sexy chemistry between Bonham Carter and Eckhart make it work."
- "The charm of 'Conversations With Other Women', a gimmicky but oddly moving two-character drama that flies in from who knows where, is its intelligentknowingness."
- "Though the movie is occasionally too clever-talky for its own good, it has the authentic ring of an elegy for love lost when one partner grows up while the other runs in place."
- "An intimate movie in every sense (...) It's sad and funny, satisfying and frustrating, totally familiar."
- "The film ultimately becomes too contrived to be anything but a fleeting diversion, but kudos to these emerging filmmakers for daring to make something a little bit different and, for the most part, intriguing."
- "For once, the gimmick is a perfect reflection of the characters."
- "Witty and articulate but the continual editing devices can distract from the momentum."
