Synopsis:
After the great reception that "Slums of Beverly Hills" had back in 1998, Tamara Jenkins returns with a small film about a pair of selfish siblings that have to tend to their elderly and absent father. With a concept that could've gone into overtly murky territory, Jenkins aims to create a film that is about two people, who are flawed and with family issues to sort out, issues that have prevented them both of growing up and coming into their own reality. Laura Linney and Philip Seymour Hoffman, both of them terrific and underrated actors, shine through and definitely make this one of the special films of 2007 that should not be lost.
