- Critics' reviews
-
-
"I wouldn't call the film inspirational -- it is too well observed to succumb to easy sentiment -- but its realism is patiently engaging and subtly insinuating. And Linney and Hoffman are extraordinary."
-
"While the film is heart-wrenchingly sad, it also is mordantly funny, uncomfortably prickly and above all, unflinching in its depiction of a believable sibling relationship."
-
"This movie provides no phony catharsis or closure; it develops a vision of people growing in spurts from their most terrible mistakes."
-
"This bittersweet X-ray of American family dynamics may not be a Hallmark-card notion of a holiday movie, but it's one any son or daughter can take to heart."
-
"Jenkins brings a rigor, intelligence and eye for the slightly absurd to the proceedings that is instantly disarming."
