Two families, sort of neighbours in Manhattan, cross paths as they navigate marriage, parenthood of a teen, ennui, a first date, and end-of-life care. Rebecca and Mary are sisters; their cranky 91-year-old grandmother's neighbours, Kate and Alex, run an upscale retro-furniture business, and will expand into her flat after she dies. Rebecca is quiet, without a boyfriend until a patient at the clinic where she works introduces her grandson. Mary is acerbic, stung by a recent breakup. Kate looks for meaning in her life, wondering if she should volunteer. Alex, too, is at loose ends. Their daughter, Abby, has zits and teenage moods. What does it mean to be good?

Movie Reviews

Spirituality and Practice - 10/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatOne of the best movies ever about guilt as the guardian of our goodness and a sign of our yearning to belong to the larger world.
Reel Film Reviews - 10/10 by David NusairA tremendous leap forward for filmmaker Nicole Holofcener...
St. Louis Post-Dispatch - 10/10 by Calvin WilsonSophisticated comedies have gone out of fashion, largely because Hollywood finds it easier and more profitable to simply gross out moviegoers. But Please Give has real class -- and for that it deserves our gratitude.
Chicago Reader - 10/10 by J.R. JonesHolofcener's work is often classified as comedy of manners, but at her best she trades in something much more resonant--the comedy of mores. Here she dives into the fascinating matter of why some people impulsively give and others compulsively take, and how people are taught to second-guess and quash their own generous impulses.
Wall Street Journal - 10/10 by Joe MorgensternThis gorgeous film, always tender and sometimes dark, is a deeply resonant comic drama that's concerned with nothing less than life, death, love, sex, guilt and the urban logic of mortality.
New York Press - 10/10 by Armond WhitePlease Give is specific about its middle-class, white, Manhattan characters but it's also universal in the way one social class' anxieties are understood rather than simply celebrated.
USA Today - 9/10 by Claudia PuigSometimes -- and far too rarely -- a film will hit all the right notes, with sharp, original dialogue, brilliant casting and an absorbing story. So caught up in its spell, you dread seeing the credits roll. Please Give is that movie.
Rolling Stone - 9/10 by Peter TraversThe pitch-perfect performances help Holofcener stir up feelings that cut to the heart of what defines an ethical life. There's no movie around right now with a subject more pertinent. It'll hit you hard.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertThe movie is about imperfect characters in a difficult world, who mostly do the best they can under the circumstances, but not always. Do you realize what a revolutionary approach that is for a movie these days?
Miami Herald - 9/10 by Connie OgleThe cast is uniformly spectacular, infusing the characters with nuance and complexity.
