Audience Reviews

Though some developments and scenes in Enough are blown up to the level of melodrama, and most characters are written more as simple archetypes than real people, I found this film to be a surprisingly enjoyable ride. Until, that is, it came off the rails with an ending that had me rolling my eyes.

Enough is a 2002 American thriller film directed by Michael Apted. The movie is based on the 1998 novel Black and Blue, by Anna Quindlen, which was a New York Times bestseller.

After running away fails, a terrified woman empowers herself in order to battle her abusive husband. After running away fails, a terrified woman empowers herself in order to battle her abusive husband.

Women who endure abuse are encouraged to get out of the situation. Granted, Enough portrays an extreme example of murderous obsession, but Slim's first response to her husband's abuse is to leave and seek help, and that's good. In this case, Slim's friends rise to the occasion, even risking their own lives to help her.

Eva (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), a divorced single parent, seems generally happy but dreads her daughter's departure for college. Unexpectedly, Eva begins a romance with Albert (James Gandolfini), a nice man with whom she has much in common. Meanwhile, Eva finds a new friend in Marianne (Catherine Keener), a poet who is just about perfect except for one thing: She constantly denigrates her ex-husband -- Albert. The more Eva hears, the more she doubts her relationship with him.

Mitchell "Mitch" Hiller is the main antagonist of the 2002 thriller film Enough.

The theme is female empowerment. At first a woman is seen to be a victim, but she becomes her own active savior. One man is represented as an abuser but many men are depicted as sympathetic and helpful. "I make the money here so I make the rules," says a misogynist husband to the wife he's cheating on.

Later, he visits her in Michigan, where they share a bed for one night, and she says he's "really not that bad" (few guys are, compared with Mitch.) After that, Joe disappears until the end credits, when he pops up with Slim and Gracie on a boat.
