“..witty and engrossing..”
by J. Hoberman [Village Voice]
“..The female characters in Ms. Holofcener's films don't live in those movies: they watch them..”
by Manohla Dargis [NY Times]

“..Still, the film provides many pleasures regardless of its box office potential (which is mid-range for it's indie stripes)..”
by Richard Mowe [Boxoffice Magazine]

“..Sometimes - and far too rarely - a film will hit all the right notes, with sharp, original dialogue, brilliant casting and an absorbing story. So caught up in its spell, you dread seeing the credits roll. Please Give is that movie..”
by Claudia Puig [USA Today]
“..poignant and funny..”
by Kenneth Turan [LA Times]

“..Please Give, in its slice-of-life way, feels whole..”
by Jesse Hassenger [Filmcritic.com]

“..It's a tricky kind of social satire, its possibly cloying self-absorption cut only by some winningly awkward characters..”
by Stephen Whitty [Newark Star-Ledger]
“..It's a low-key slice-of-life story that, in its best moments, feels like real life..”
by Ethan Alter [Film Journal International]

“..In fact, it's guilt that gives life, shape and depth to this uncommonly perceptive film..”
by Elizabeth Weitzman [NY Daily News]
“..A muted, almost Rohmer-like moral tale that doesn't quite dive deeply enough into its several characters..”
by Kirk Honeycutt [Hollywood Reporter]
