"Nora Ephron is one of
the most prolific and profitable female directors in
Hollywood today...Overall, Ephron's work to date can be read
as a series of sentimental homages to a romantic cinema of
the past. The subject matter she deals in - sensitive
women, conservative men, and the formalised
hetero-relationship, leading to an idyllic, utopian union -
has led some critics to criticise her as a storyteller that
deals in the conceit that all women really want is a good
man; while they are hardly revolutionary or subversive,
their enduring popularity is testament to their appeal."

"She makes you
laugh, she makes you cry. No doubt about it, the
bitter-sweet romantic comedies of Nora Ephron are here to
stay." - David
Quinlan (Quinlan's Illustrated Guide to Film Directors, 1999) |

"She makes films on just
the kind of idea that might appeal to a newspaper columnist
- and with a superficiality that even the public now seems
to have caught on to...Just because she rates as a
successful woman in Hollywood is no reason to omit the
feeling that she is the director of at least five supine
pictures." -
David Thomson (The New Biographical Dictionary of Film, 2002)
