Wealthy Los Angelino Jane has three daughters who seem to have nothing in common with each other. There’s married struggling artist Michelle, Elizabeth, an aspiring actress in her twenties, and adopted kid Annie. Together, the women deal with insecurities about their looks, relationships, and jobs.
Catherine Keener’s second collaboration with Nicole Holofcener shines with the actor’s breezy charm and the director’s wry insight. Co-starring a baby Jake Gyllenhaal and romcom heart-melter Dermot Mulroney, this lovely comedy looks on at the neuroses of American women with warm, honest affection.
