"This is another unassuming little film that is full of humour, irritation, the unpredictable awkwardness of life and the difficulty of getting along. It has the resonance of reality and reminds you how artificial most of what passes as real life in the movies is. If you wanted to cast a brother and sister as regular, bumbling, stressed-out people and needed them played without a hint of ego, you'd probably think of Philip Seymour Hoffman and Laura Linney. And if you have a script as good as this (it was Oscar-nominated, though this is a very un-Oscary film), you might land them.
Jenkins does for this tale of a brother and sister brought together when their estranged dad, in the early stages of dementia, is left to fend for himself when his girlfriend dies. This is an increasingly common, and excruciatingly difficult situation that's rarely covered cinematically. Jenkins gives us a drama professor writing an interminable book about Brecht (Hoffman) and a nervy playwriting temp (Linney, also Oscar-nominated).
...it leaves you to piece together a difficult shared childhood and guess what effect it has had on this prickly pair, who are perhaps able to relate better and move on with their lives as a result of the traumatic situation we see them living through." -- G
