Overview
A sister and brother face the realities of familial responsibility as they begin to care for their ailing father.
This film hit a little close to home as at this writing having a similar issues with my in-laws. This is a fine movie and the acting by Linney and Hoffman is exactly what you would expect (oh I miss Hoffman). It’s by no means a great film – I think What They Had is a far superior entry into this genre.
