    It wasn't particularly what I was expecting, but I did enjoy it. More than ever I am dreading old age.

    "What's the difference between plot and narrative?"

    Linney and Hoffman were a great brother-sister combination.. check it out.

    This story of death, old age, and personal failures is brightened by the sister-brother relationship. Hoffman is again in great form.

    Kind of slow at times, but then again maybe some of it is needed for subtlety. Does good job of dealing with the way in which difficulties in romantic relationships are often hereditary.
    Warning: You might not enjoy this film very much if you're much younger than 30.

    A very realistic, never sappy or cliche drama about two neurotic, failed struggling intellectual siblings faced with the task of caring for their aging, estranged father while being preoccupied with their own vocational and relationship issues.
    While its uncompromising realism at times makes the film border on the mundane, it finds lots of subtle humor in the absurd situations the pair are thrust into, and the dynamic between the likably flawed characters.
