Married antique-dealers, Kate and Alex (Catherine Keener and Oliver Platt) plan on gutting the apartment they own next door to expand their own pad once Andra, the cranky, elderly widow (Ann Guilbert) who lives there, finally dies. When Kate, conflicted with her own guilt, befriends Andra’s granddaughters (Rebecca Hall and Amanda Peet), the results are anything but predictable in this devastatingly funny comedy that examines life and death… and everything in between!

Critics Consensus: Nicole Holofcener's newest might seem slight in places, but its rendering of complex characters in a conflicted economic landscape is varied, natural, and touching all the same.

Michael Leader

For a 90 minute, short story type of film, Please Give starts to feel too baggy...

Formless and complicated. [Full review in Spanish]

Though some may argue that the film doesn't fully challenge white female privilege (or tire of Kate's crying), it's to the film's credit that it uses this as character detail and tries to mine humor and social commentary from it.

About the people who give, the people who don't give and how we finally manage to connect with one another.

Please Give is truly a film for our age; it's darkly comic stuff from a mistress of the miserable-urbanites genre.
