Synopsis

An adult take on the loves and lives of New Yorkers. It centres on a middle aged couple (Catherine Keener and Oliver Platt) and their relationship with an elderly woman who lives next door and her grand-daughters (Amanda Peet, Rebecca Hall)

Verdict

After the success of her previous films “Lovely and Amazing” and “Friends with Money”, Nicole Holofcener delivers her most well-rounded and observant study of modern day relationships. With a fine cast and some laugh out loud moments, Holofcener marries an independent sensibility with a mainstream gift for believable characters.

The characters in this film are so real and believable that it is a pleasure to see them grow in the context of the narrative.The petty, everyday traumas of everyday life are so minutely observed that the film will ring a bell with everyone (male or female) who is lucky enough to see it.
