The Stranger Suggests
Movie
'The Savages'
Tamara Jenkins's (Slums of Beverly Hills) latest is about the misery of family. Specifically, the clashes, panic, and rampant self-absorption that occurs when parents need to be taken care of by their children. With sharp writing, predictably fine performances from Philip Seymour Hoffman and Laura Linney, and a standout turn from Philip Bosco as the père in need, the movie clicks on nearly every level—just don't see it with your folks. (See movie times for details.)

The Savages has been on many Top 10 movie lists for 2007. Saw it yesterday and liked it - well observed and sibling relationships are worth examining more on film.
