Please Give (DVD)

Please Give (2010) starring Oliver Platt, Catherine Keener, Amanda Peet, Rebecca Hall, Lois Smith, Ann Morgan Guilbert. A Manhattan couple (Platt and Keener) wait for their next-door neighbor (Guilbert) to die so that they can buy her apartment and expand their living space into it. When they meet the neighbor's granddaughters (Hall and Peet) things start to get complicated. It's an indie film -- not a big Hollywood production, but still a pleasure to experience. The actors all do a good job, and the script is well written and nicely balanced. The subtitles are excellent. Grade: B+
