Four women friends: three are wealthy and married plus there's Olivia, a former teacher who's now a maid. The marriages are in various states of health: Franny and Matt are happy and very rich. Christine and David write screenplays together, are remodeling their house, and argue. Jane is angry all the time and Aaron, who's an attentive husband, strikes everyone as gay.

Leave your thoughts about Friends with Money.
| CinerinaKarina MontgomeryIf you are a woman, or if you love one, you should see it. You will see yourself somewhere, as with all her movies, and it will change the way you see yourself as well...Holofcener nderstands us better than we admit we understand ourselves |
| Sydney Morning HeraldSandra HallIn a low-key way, it's a very fine performance. Poker-faced Aniston may be, but everything Olivia needs to say is right there in her eyes. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversSmart, witty and alert to the buried resentments that poke through the shiny surface of affluence, Holofcener's film recognizes that money is the new sex. |
| Chicago TribuneAllison BenediktAcutely perceptive and slyly quick-witted. |
| Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaHolofcener writes with an ear for the rhythms and ridiculousness of real life, and her cast - to a man, and woman - embraces her words with subtlety and certitude. Friends With Money is gimmickless, and great. |
| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxFor a film that feels so breezy on the surface, it's a surprisingly complex character study. |
| Reel Talk OnlineCandice FrederickFriends With Money isn't an action film, it has no real surprises, and generally has a very subtle plot. But what it does has is heart. |
| NewsdayJan StuartEvery five years, Nicole Holofcener makes a movie, Catherine Keener acts in it, and some kind of magic happens. |
| Sun Publications (Chicago, IL)Josh LarsenYou learn more about a Holofcener character from the way she brushes her hair than you do about the factory-made heroine in all two hours of your average romance. |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldIn hanging out with Franny, Christine, Jane and Olivia, you get not only a nuanced portrait of women's friendship but a glorious showcase of four actresses in their prime. |
