Featured review
Excellent romantic / family drama "Sam & Kate" features four superb central performances (with Henry Thomas & Elizabeth Ludlow also good in support) and Darren Le Gallo's fine direction & even better writing. Talented (but rather lost) artist Jake Hoffman's back in his small hometown to care for curmudgeonly elderly widow dad Dustin Hoffman (Jake's actual dad btw). The two meet and strike up relationships of sorts with mum & daughter Sissy Spacek & Schuyler Fisk (also actual parent & child), but things aren't as simple as they may seem, and events take deeper, darker, but authentic turns. It's a surprising gem, and an absolutely outstanding debut from Le Gallo.
