Please Give Ratings & Reviews
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
Keener has become Holofcener's artistic alter ego. In Please Give, the sharp-eyed filmmaker sends her vibrant representative out into the world to explore what it means for a woman to be lucky and still feel itchy.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Nicole Holofcener's lovely Please Give is a small, modest movie, full of the sort of characters we might know, or be.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Calvin Wilson
In a Holofcener film, the usual rules of screenwriting do not apply, which lends her work a lifelike quality that's particularly refreshing in this era of formulaic remakes and sequels.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Happily, the joy outweighs the guilt.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
Nicole Holofcener is frequently lauded for writing vivid female characters, but such praise doesn't really do justice to her full game.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
A stroll with these characters is a refreshing break from from the usual film exercises.
Reel Talk Online
Candice Frederick
Funny at times, Please Give is a surprisingly heartwarming coming-of-age film for six adults all passing through different stages of heir life.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Funny yet emotional, tragic yet full of hope, this is the type of character-driven story theatergoers could use to see more of, and as like as Holofcener is around here's hope more is exactly what it is we are going to get.
Movieline
Stephanie Zacharek
Holofcener writes, and helps to shape on-screen, characters we often don't even like, and what do we do? We invite them home with us. Talk about a soft touch.
Bitch Media
Alyx Vesey
Though some may argue that the film doesn't fully challenge white female privilege (or tire of Kate's crying), it's to the film's credit that it uses this as character detail and tries to mine humor and social commentary from it.
The New Yorker
David Denby
Life-goes-on movies usually don't electrify the senses, but this one stimulates moral imagination.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Please Give is one of those movies that can be enjoyed simply for its funny portraits of human foibles and fumbling grasps at intimacy -- but it's also deceivingly profound.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
Some filmmakers make movies that hold up a mirror to nature. Nicole Holofcener makes seriocomedies that hold up a magnifying glass to human nature.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Only Rebecca Hall comes through with a genuineness that rises above Holofcener's doodlings.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
There's no movie around right now with a subject more pertinent. It'll hit you hard.
HollywoodChicago.com
Brian Tallerico
Please Give proves that a film can be a spectacularly rewarding experience by just providing time spent with well-written, believable adult characters.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
Please Give is an almost perfectly rendered slice of life, buoyant with wonderful performances.
Philadelphia City Paper
Sam Adams
There's nothing wrong with asking audiences to make up their own minds, but Please Give doesn't even ask.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Far from challenging, the film consoles the complacent, saying basically that you can do whatever you want, so long as you feel (or pretend to feel) a little guilty about it.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Please Give is a moral comedy that feels at times like one of the late Eric Rohmer's deceptively breezy miniatures, or a mid-period Woody Allen movie minus the fussiness.
