Review of Win Win (2011) by Hunterm — 07 Apr 2011

The power behind this movie is in how it reveals the lengths to which normally honest, educated, hard-working middle class Americans have to go in this economy just to keep paying the mortgage. It's a morality tale, a tale of sin and redemption, and a slice of life look into the hearts of those (most of us) who are just trying to get by and do the best for those we love.

Paul Giamatti is excellent, Bobby Canavale is hilarious, but it's Amy Ryan and the new kid (playing Kyle) who really steal the movie. A must-see.
