This movie shows that even if you try hard to make money, you may not be able to achieve it. The director did a great job.

In my opinion, the movie uses very good camera and audio visual equipment and the crew members and the filmmakers have played their roles very well. I really liked it.

This is a very very small scale ensemble, folks living in NYC movie. It was pretty funny and very human. A bit plotless, but that can be okay if you have strong characters, and this one does.

Nicole Holofcener can do no wrong. The biggest cinematic failing is that we are not availed more of her auteur greatness at a more regular interval. She is a master, an original, and this film (as well as all of her written/directed by films) is nothing short of fantastic!

Catherine Keener and Oliver Platt make a lovely couple, even if he’s a horny schmuck. Sarah Steele as their daughter works. Good movie. Simple. πŸ‘πŸ»

Really good with multiple story lines and strong characters intertwining and trying to get through life.

I really liked Kate. She came across so real to me. And I like the way her and Alex behaved in their relationship, especially when certain things happened which didn't necessarily get revealed to all involved. Everyone is leading their own individual lives, and yet their are interwoven in each others. I also almost always love a movie set in NYC!

Surprised and delighted.

Nicole Holofcener is a brilliant writer/director. Her comedies are so witty! Please Give is a wonderful addition to her collection of movies about real people living in real times. Catherine Keener is superb.

Nicole Holofcener often seems to be picking up a ball that Woody Allen dropped a long time ago. Please Give has the smart observations of overly educated and somewhat wealthy people neurotically trying to either apologize or validate their place in the culture and society. While this movie has some very funny moments, it is filled with an astute observations relating to cultural guilt and a sort of ethical ennui that is all too real. This film works on all levels.

For me Please Give was just like all other movies written and directed by Nicole Holofcener. Nothing special. I appreciated the movie's unpredictability and how true to life it really is when it comes to all the emotions that were expressed in it. But for me there was never really a hook, there was never anything that made me want to stay there until the end. Something that made me want to see what would happen next. This made me lose focus sometimes and made me focus on other things than the actual movie. In the end it just wasn't very memorable and it left me as soon as I'd finished watching it.

A good drama comedy about a woman dealing with the moral issues of today. Kate is a complex character struggling to live well and be a good person and raise her child not to be materialistic, when poverty, homelessness and sadness are right outside her door.

A vivid, character driven story filled with laughs and heartache, and supported by a perfect cast. The preview is forgettable but the film is not; a diamond in the rough -- see it if you can find it.

I feel like invoicing the director of this one for a slice of my life, that I desperately want back.

Jun 22, 2014

Slightly darker than her previous films with the haunting spectre of death and unsettling hints at mental illness. However as usual with Holofcener she never lets it collapse into despair and bleakness with her trademark wit and black comedy chops.

disinteresting, dull, and didnt hit any chords that i would say were funny or at least bring a chuckle. story doesnt go anywhere like the main character in Life of Pi just floats and still, excepting us to go along with the wanna-be Woody Allen vibe but theres one thing missing.... Woody Allen didn't do or never would have done this film in his life. Characters don't make you care but make you roll your eyes at their unwillingness to change. D+ is my final grade annd thats my charity right there

More like a 온라인카지노추천 series than a movie, but it is so well-acted. So even though the characters in this movie are somehow more like a bunch of uninteresting people with their "fake" problems, I found the feeling guilty issue is actually quite interesting, subtly contemplative.

Rich character study, revolving around death, consumerism and altruism... Kind of like a more feminine centric Neil LaBute film.
