Narrative Feature

    Regional Premiere
Synopsis:
Friends With Money examines the shifting relationships between four women who have been friends all of their adult lives; and now as they settle into their early middle age, their friendship is increasingly challenged by the ever-growing disparity in their individual degrees of financial comfort. It is a poignant snapshot of the way we live today, where the safe divisions that class and money have created are eroding under the unstoppable force of everyday life and the result is a painfully hilarious examination of modern life that manages to be both brutally honest and ultimately uplifting.
Director's Bio:
Friends With Money marks Holofcener's third feature examination into contemporary mores, stamped with her personal and independent point of view. She has fashioned a trio of genuinely moving and funny films, starting with Walking and Talking and Lovely and Amazing, about the bonds shared by women. She has also directed episodes of ÒSex in the CityÓ and ÒSix Feet Under" for HBO.
