This week’s Please Give returns Catherine Keener to the fraught, funny world of Nicole Holofcener, marking their fourth collaboration since 1996’s Walking and Talking . This time, the crisis on hand is as social as it is personal — the epidemic of white liberal guilt that wallops her Kate into a new, unusual variety of midlife crisis. Making matters worse, Kate’s daughter Abby (Sarah Steele) has bad skin and a jones for $200 jeans, while husband Alex (Oliver Platt) has only slightly more compunctions about the affair he’s having with his neighbor’s granddaughter (Amanda Peet) than he does about waiting for the neighbor to die so he can expand their apartment.
