Review of Friends with Money (2006) by Michaell. — 28 Aug 2006
Not everyone's cup of tea, no doubt, but I loved it. Excellent, thoroughly drawn characters and witty, 100% realistic dialog. These are people we all know--if we're over 40. I think the detractors from this film are gen X-ers; and I understand why.
They haven't dealt with working so hard to achieve their goals...and succeeding. When the goal is reached, a confused emptiness can result. That's what makes this film so haunting. We step into 4 typical lives, and step out 90 minutes later.
Like life, there are no answers, no resolutions. A great cast, particularly Frances McDormand and Catherine Keener, make this film highly watchable, and bring their complex characters to life.
