Review of Please Give (2010)

By Gary Thompson (1,554) for Philadelphia Daily News (1,596) on 05 Jul 2010

Review of Please Give (2010)

By Sukhdev Sandhu (247) for Daily Telegraph (UK) (2,495) on 23 Jun 2010

Touching: that's what makes Holofcener's films so lovely. They are beady-eyed satires, sure, but they're also fundamentally kind-hearted…

Review of Please Give (2010)

By Catherine Bray (216) for Film4 (1,522) on 23 Jun 2010

This is a small film, which, if you're open to it, will draw you into the lives of people you quickly forget are fictional…

Review of Please Give (2010)

By Andrew O'hagan (40) for London Evening Standard (2,015) on 23 Jun 2010

Review of Please Give (2010)

By Allan Hunter (1,486) for Daily Express (UK) (2,141) on 20 Jun 2010

As Holofcener charts the telling little developments in these randomly connected lives the film offers wry smiles, smart repartee, mild whimsy…

Review of Please Give (2010)

By Alistair Harkness (1,042) for Scotsman (1,471) on 20 Jun 2010

A spiky, sophisticated, grown-up comedy…

Review of Please Give (2010)

By Dan Lybarger (786) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 19 Jun 2010

In both Please Give and Friends with Money, she wrestles with our all-to-human desire for nice things but judiciously avoids ridiculing her…

Review of Please Give (2010)

By Keith Cohen (225) for Entertainment Spectrum (633) on 18 Jun 2010

This plot less movie lacks any momentum and you get no feeling of empathy or sympathy for any of the characters…

Review of Please Give (2010)

By Dennis Schwartz (5,456) for Ozus' World Movie Reviews (5,456) on 18 Jun 2010

Ms. Holofcener's observant talky comedy resonates with plenty of oomph as a believable modern-day fable about urban life…

Compare these wonderfully flawed, beautifully insecure and wholly believable characters with the preprogrammed mannequins seen in such chowderheaded…

By John Wirt (638) for Advocate (Baton Rouge, LA) (638) on 17 Jun 2010

Real joys and sorrows must be bigger and deeper than this…

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 17 Jun 2010

It ends with this exchange: 'Thank You.' 'You're welcome.' How often do those simple words carry weight in a movie…

Review of Please Give (2010)

By Mike Ward (328) for Richmond Times-Dispatch (308) on 17 Jun 2010

If you're hoping for huge dramatic payoff or more than mild laughs from cynically satisfying script, then you're panhandling without a Styrofoam cup…
