It's a good movie for all. The movie tells about the duty of all adult children towards their parents, specially aged parents. | | | | Reply | | |

The acting is superb. Hoffman and Linney draw us right into their lonely worlds. They deliver a poignant realistic view of adult life after being abandoned as a child. They really compliment each other. | | | | Reply | | |

In the movie we get finest performances from Laura Linney, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Phillip Brosco. Linney and Hoffman play as brother and sister and Brosco plays their father. The movie is very sensitive and respectful to the issues that adult children deal with their old parents. | | | | Reply | | |
