Friends with Money

Friends with Money (2006) is a Nicole Holofcener dramedy you can watch online on iFILM. Four longtime friends in Los Angeles are hitting their mid-thirties, and only one of them is broke.

Olivia walked away from a steady teaching job and now cleans other people's houses while pining over a married ex. Her friends have the money, but it buys them no peace: screenwriters Christine and Patrick keep sniping at each other over a shared script, Jane and Aaron have watched the warmth drain out of their marriage, and Franny and Matt are buried under the grind of raising kids. Cash is the thing that quietly exposes who actually envies whom. Jennifer Aniston plays Olivia, alongside Frances McDormand, Catherine Keener and Joan Cusack in a deep bench of talent.

Holofcener resists tidy resolutions and just eavesdrops on her characters' awkward, honest conversations. It's small, observational filmmaking for anyone who likes low-key stories about friendship, money and the things people don't say out loud. Stream Friends with Money (2006) online on iFILM.
