Walking and Talking

Walking and Talking (1996) is a New York indie comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM, written and directed by Nicole Holofcener in her feature debut, starring Catherine Keener and Anne Heche.

Amelia and Laura have been best friends since childhood — shared apartments, shared anxieties, shared bad relationships. When Laura announces her engagement, Amelia's careful equilibrium cracks. The men in her life are sweet but wrong in different ways; the video-store clerk she ends up spending time with is earnest in a manner that should be insufferable but somehow isn't. Holofcener keeps the scale intimate — no grand gestures, just the friction of close friendships adjusting to change. Keener plays Amelia's unraveling with a specificity that feels completely unperformed. Liev Schreiber appears in an early supporting role. Stream Walking and Talking (1996) online on iFILM.
