“I don’t really plan it out for the characters to have these really raw human experiences, but I think inevitably it ends up that way. In the story I want to tell, the characters end up being probably embarrassed frequently or they’re in awkward situations just like in real life.

I always have a desire to show people the way they are—from how they dress to how stupid they can be, and how entertaining they can be. It’s just human behavior. I’d like to have as little bullshit in there as possible.”

Nicole Holofcener, director of Enough Said
