Playing by Heart
Description
The film tells the stories of eleven articulate people who work through affairs of the heart in L.A. 'Talking about love' is like 'dancing about architecture,' meaning speech is not the medium to express the details of love.

Nothing more than merely watchable film.
June 03, 2006
A very slight and inoffensive movie. It's a lot like L.A. itself, all surface, soothing and warm.
June 03, 2006
All 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.
March 19, 2003
The dozen or so lead characters of Playing By Heart fear silence the way Biblical people feared locusts.
February 14, 2001
If 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.
June 18, 2012
Carroll's milieu is resolutely middle class and the crises encountered all too predictable.
March 26, 2009
Carroll's characters spend so much time talking, albeit intelligently, that the connections they make seem peculiarly synthetic.

The brightest spot belongs to Angelina Jolie, who is so compelling to watch she has chemistry with the furniture.
January 01, 2000
The 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.
April 09, 2005
Playing By Heart tries hard and sometimes succeeds -- and Jolie is terrific.
June 03, 2006
This charming romantic comedy with a Los Angeles setting cuts between seemingly unconnected miniplots the way some Robert Altman movies do.

For all its artificiality, Playing by Heart percolates with an earnest charm.
