Three by Nicole Holofcener
Featuring a new introduction by Holofcener In her smart, bitingly hilarious, and deeply empathetic comedies, Nicole Holofcener offers refreshingly nuanced portrayals of flawed, complex women whose outward sophistication belies their dysfunctional, often disastrous personal lives. All featuring her regular collaborator Catherine Keener, this trio of Holofcener favorites—the cutting family portrait Lovely & Amazing , the wicked class comedy Friends with Money , and the darkly funny satire of white liberal guilt Please Give —displays the richly realized characterizations, all-too-real relationships, and trenchant insights into privilege and bourgeois anxieties that have made the writer-director one of contemporary cinema’s most astutely acerbic observers of human folly.
