Throughout the course of her steadily exceptional career, writer-director Nicole Holofcener has established herself as a peerless master of observation, exquisitely attuned to human foibles and frailty.
“The Land of Steady Habits,” which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival this week and debuts on Netflix Sept. 14, shifts away from her usual Pov — compulsively self-sabotaging women — and offers instead the perspective of, well, compulsively self-sabotaging men.
Her approach, however, remains the same: both minutely unsparing and generously empathetic.

Holofcener has deftly adapted Ted Thompson’s 2014 novel about Anders Hill, a finance guy living in mega-wealthy Westport, Connecticut. As seen here, Westport is the kind of place where wives in Range Rovers gather at the train station every night at 7 p.m., to pick up husbands who have just enough time to eat and sleep before heading back to banking.
