Acclaimed filmmaker Nicole Holofcener returns with this insightful comedy about a married couple (Miami native Catherine Keener and Oliver Platt) who make a living acquiring estate furniture cheaply and reselling it expensively in their trendy Manhattan shop. Wanting to expand their two-bedroom apartment, they long to purchase the unit next door. However, before doing so, they must wait for the occupant, a cantankerous elderly woman, to die. Things become complicated when the couple develops relationships with the woman and her two grown granddaughters. Stemming from her uncanny ability to understand people and their motivations, interactions and contradictions, Holofcener infuses her personal take on love, death, infidelity, conscience, family and liberal guilt in the 21st century with a rare balance of humor and complexity that offers a funny and philosophical reflection on the give and take of modern life.
