Review of The Savages (2007) by Billys. — 22 Jan 2008
Painfully honest and heartbreakingly real, The Savages is not a comedy, nor is it a black comedy but a beautifully acted drama with an occasional uncomfortable laugh. Linney and Hoffman portray the best screen bother/sister since Linney worked the same magic with Mark Ruffalo in You Can Count On Me.
Tamara Jenkins has written and directed a touching script without the usual sentimentality that usually gets these pictures made.
