 Buyer Profile: Dylan Leiner, Sony Pictures Classics
While we have acquired films...and attend all the major festivals to see new movies, festivals for Sony Pictures Classics are more valuable as places at which to unveil a picture for the world to see.
A picture's reputation and life are fragile and having an opportunity to properly frame a film for critics, journalists, exhibitors, opinion makers and audiences is crucial.
The only type of pictures that we are not interested in are outright slasher films or pictures that require a release of 800 or more screens on opening weekend.

 Friends with Money (2006): Reviews
It lives through the quality of Holofcener's dialogue and the performances that she has drawn from her actors.
The only weak link here is Aniston's character – her Olivia, stuck in a holding pattern, feels like a holdover from Holofcener's previous, single-girl pictures, and Aniston underplays the role to the point of expressionlessness.
You could make an argument that that's how life is, unresolved, but as a film, it makes for frustrating viewing, particularly when plot threads with the potential to bust open the story are left hanging.
