The Savages
Newly Added
•
1h 54m
Directed by Tamara Jenkins • 2007 • United States Starring Laura Linney, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Philip Bosco
By turns darkly funny and tender, this unusually frank and nuanced portrait of family dysfunction features pitch-perfect performances from Philip Seymour Hoffman and Laura Linney as Jon and Wendy Savage, estranged siblings who, until recently, shared nothing in common except their lousy childhood and a few strands of DNA. But after years of drifting apart, they’re forced to band together to care for the elderly, cantankerous father who made their formative years such a pain. In the process, both of these aimless, perpetually adolescent fortysomethings may just, at long last, have to grow up.
