Please Give is a 2010 dark comedy film written and directed by Nicole Holofcener and starring Catherine Keener. It is the fourth film Keener and Holofcener have made together. The film also stars Amanda Peet, Oliver Platt, Rebecca Hall, Elizabeth Keener, Kevin Corrigan, and Ann Guilbert. Kate and Alex are a couple living in a New York City apartment with their teenage daughter, Abby . Kate and Alex own a furniture store specializing in used modern furniture, which they buy at estate sales. They have bought the apartment adjacent to theirs, but its occupant, the elderly and cranky Andra ,... will stay in it until she dies. Andra has two granddaughters, the dutiful and generous Rebecca , a breast cancer radiology technician, and the cynical, sharp-tongued Mary , a cosmetologist. Kate is troubled by the profits she makes from furniture sellers who do not know the value of what they are selling; the contrast between homeless people in her neighborhood and her own comfortable life; and the fact that her family will only be able to expand their apartment when Andra dies.
