Story Overview

A quietly melancholic yet sharply pleasurable meditation on past loves and former selves, Conversations with Other Women unfolds over the course of a single evening in New York City. A charming, self-assured man (Aaron Eckhart) attends a wedding where he unexpectedly encounters a beautiful and disarmingly candid woman (Helena Bonham Carter). What begins as light, witty conversation soon evolves into an intimate night shared between two strangers.

As their dialogue deepens, subtle emotional fractures begin to surface. The pair gradually realize that their connection is not coincidental at all — they share a complicated romantic history that neither has fully confronted. Through sharp exchanges and reflective pauses, the film explores how time reshapes love, regret, and identity, forcing both characters to confront the people they once were and the choices that led them apart.

Stripped of melodrama and elevated by its literate screenplay, the film relies almost entirely on conversation, performance, and emotional precision. With its minimalist structure and emotionally resonant dialogue, Conversations with Other Women offers an intimate portrait of love revisited — not as nostalgia, but as a reckoning.
