Beth is publishing her first novel after a modestly received memoir. Her husband is doubting his profession as a phycologist. When she overhears him giving his honest reaction to her book, something in their relationship shifts. The latest from director Nicole Holofcener combines irony and seriousness to create empathy and identification. "If you’re looking for a smart, insightful, slightly cynical yet warmhearted and consistently smile-inducing slice of life reminiscent of the best character-driven films of the 1970s, punch your ticket right here" (Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times).
