Nicole Holfcener's 'Please Give' was the best movie I saw last year, so I've been chasing up her back catalogue to some extent; my first LoveFim rental was 'Lovely and Amazing', not realising I'd seen it back in the day at the now sadly defunct Kino arthouse cinema, Cork.
And of course there's the wonderful Catherine Keener; last year it clicked, in a 'putting a name to the face' way - "Ah, that's the actress who's in all the good American indies.."
'Friends with Money' follows the lives and loves of four female friends. Performances from the all-star girl cast are strong all-round, particularly Jennifer Aniston's, whose straitened circumstances put her slightly at odds with the other three who provide the film with its title.
It's a light, enjoyable piece, funny in places, articulately not drawing any conclusions.
It deserves more than the 6.0 it gets on IMDB.
