That rare film about responsibility. About parenthood. About sacrifice. Owning up to mistakes and then correcting them. In a way, this is the first movie that's really resounded about the recession and this particular period of American family life. Of friendship. Of taking care of each other.
Paul Giamatti is so comfortable on-screen. And Amy Ryan is a stand-out.
A friend described it -- with a heavy tone of cynicism -- as a film about white, middle-class suburbia. Yes. Exactly.
I've already watched it twice.
