Found another PS Hoffman film I hadn't seen. Always, happy to get a chance to see him act with fresh eyes. This is a small little picture about an middle age brother and sister who come together as they navigate an aging father with dementia and finding him a place that'll care for him. They haven't been super close to him so the film also exposes the low-points in their relationships and personal lives that sparks sibling reactions. Finally connecting emotionally again, draws them a bit closer together. But will they see eye to eye on what to do with their father in his condition with an ounce of compassion? This is basically a film to watch P. S. Hoffman and Laura Linney act with genuine realism. This is a straight-shootin' drama with a focused story and little energy. Just a couple siblings getting through rough patches in life. Watch it for PS Hoffman and Linney.
