Review of The Savages (2007) by Eddie R — 01 Feb 2009
Slow but moving, wonderfully understated but brilliant acting (which you would expect from the two leads, to be fair).
I really enjoyed this, even though the subject matter is quite heavy-going. There were light moments without resorting to comedy and the sadder moments were also very well-handled.
Some of the criticism in other reviews on here is warrnted, but I guess a theme like this affects different people in different ways - and I really enjoyed it.
A little-known gem - see it if you love great acting.
