Critics Consensus

Strong lead performances, witty dialogue and wry observations cement Friends With Money as another winning dramedy from writer/director Nicole Holofcener.

Candice Frederick

Reel Talk Online

Friends With Money isn't an action film, it has no real surprises, and generally has a very subtle plot. But what it does has is heart.

Rated: B+

Newsweek

This delicious, seriocomic tale of four friends in affluent, liberal, west L.A. grappling with midlife crises, metrosexual spouses and household remodeling takes on an avoided subject: money, and how it affects our relationships.

Salon.com

This is a dense and sophisticated work about mortality, materialism, madness, jealousy and pity a movie in which the fabulous duds are ripped off the "Sex and the City" gals and they're left teetering on the edge of the abyss...

The film is constructed out of the notion that these small moments constitute life. ... But it is not a terribly interesting life, and it seems rather myopic of Holofcener to imagine that we will be fascinated by it.

Nicole Holofcener is a humanist. When people say, "It's a movie about real life," they're talking about movies like hers.

Boasting generous performances from each player, this is a film that understands the foibles of human nature.

I really liked the camera used in the movie. Because the angles and small details are captured very well.

A lot of friends with money, and Aniston has none. She cleans houses. And her friends have issues of their own. Its indie commentary on the wealthy's struggle
