Reseña destacada

A realistic film that is satisfying and human

This film is about how two brothers and sisters react to their father's development of dementia, and the subsequent deterioration of his mental condition.

"The Savages" is a real and authentic film. It uses the pain of dealing with dementia as a backdrop, to explore the relationship of two siblings. Laura Linney's excellent portrayal of Wendy Savage, a daughter in deep denial, is captivating. Her emotional turmoil and her manipulation of others makes her character very deep and interesting. Jon Savage, on the other hand, repeatedly and brutally brings Wendy back on the ground. This strained interaction keeps the tension going throughout the film. Fortunately, this painful and difficult times enables them too understand themselves and care for each other. The ending is sad, but satisfying and human.

"The Savages" is realistic film that people can easily relate to.

Curiosidades
Director Tamara Jenkins contacted Carter Burwell to score the movie. Burwell had already committed himself to score No es país para viejos (2007), so he refused, but recommended Stephen Trask to Jenkins.

Pifias
Jon Savage drives his Polish girlfriend to the airport at 6:30 AM, in broad daylight. But in November in Buffalo, it would be pitch dark at this hour (even on November 1, sunrise isn't until 7:46).

Citas
Jon Savage: Dad's not the one that has a problem with the Valley View. There's nothing wrong with Dad's situation. Dad's situation is fine. He's never gonna adjust to it if we keep yanking him outta there. And, actually, this upward mobility fixation of yours, it's counterproductive and, frankly, pretty selfish. Because it's not about Dad, it's about you and your guilt. That's what these places prey upon.
Wendy Savage: I happen to think it's nicer here.
Jon Savage: Of course you do, because you are the consumer they want to target. You are the guilty demographic. The landscaping, the neighborhoods of care; they're not for the residents, they're for the relatives. People like you and me who don't want to admit to what's really going on here.
Wendy Savage: Which is what, Jon?
Jon Savage: People are dying, Wendy! Right inside that beautiful building right now, it's a fucking horror show! And all this wellness propaganda and the landscaping, it's just there to obscure the miserable fact that people die! And death is gaseous and gruesome and it's filled with shit and piss and rotten stink!
