Nicole Holfcener and Julia Louise-Dreyfus on the set of Enough Said
Known for her honest and authentic woman-led features, Nicole Holofcener is a master of the mumblecore genre. Her films are essentially coming-of-age features for adults, as they depict middle-class neuroses and the sensation of feeling lost in adulthood, often due to not being as successful as they'd like to be, in love or at work.
Friends With Money is not quite as warm and poignant, perhaps, as Holofcener's previous features. That may be due to there being so many strong characters, all with their own individual plots alongside the main thread, that there perhaps wasn't time to delve too deep into any of them and get to grips with their storylines in any truly meaningful way. Saying that, the performances were, unsurprisingly, stellar.
The protagonist, Kate, is such a well-realized character, and Keener inhabits her wonderfully; she truly brings Holofcener's visions to life with her naturalistic performance, capturing a character plagued with self-aware neuroses trying to do her best in a difficult world. In parallel, Guilbert plays Andra expertly, creating a ghastly character seemingly unaware of her intense selfishness.
Holofcener's debut feature explores the dynamics of close friendship between women, and the difficulties faced when the relationship feels one-sided. Amelia and Laura are far from perfect, but their mistakes just contribute to the shaping of their dimensional characters. The romance between Amelia and Andrew is very authentic in their exes, to friends to perhaps something more, you can't help but root for them, despite how flawed they can both be.
You Hurt My Feelings delves into the idea of self-worth versus external worth, exploring the idea that we all crave external validation, especially from people we love and trust. Ultimately, Beth's problem is a trivial issue with white lies, she is in a very loving relationship and lives very comfortably as a writer, but it is a petty insecurity that many can relate to.
