Laura Linney and Philip Hoffman are matched perfectly as the children of an aging estranged father. The uniqueness of this movie is the realism of the human story. No family is perfect and dealing with old age is tough. This movie exposes this to us in a way that is easy to identify with, and it has both humor and a dramatic realism that is touching. I can’t imagine any other pair than Linney and Hoffman who could have pulled it off so well. Very enjoyable and engaging.
