Please Give looks interesting. The film centers around the all too real "problem of how to live well and be a good person when poverty, homelessness, and sadness are always right outside the door."
The cast is excellent. I've always loved Catherine Keener, Oliver Platt, and Amanda Peet. And Rebecca Hall was excellent in Spanglish. The elderly lady in the film is Ann Morgan Guilbert, who played next door neighbor Millie on The Dick Van Dyke Show. The film was directed by Nicole Holofcener who helmed the first movie in which I remember seeing Keener, Walking and Talking and later went on to direct her in Friends With Money .
