Critic Reviews

A sharply observed tragicomedy that draws laughter as genuinely as it coaxes tears, the nicely paced film tempers its themes of loss and sorrow with a cynically witty edge and is graced by a perfectly pitched Sigourney Weaver performance.Full Review

Michael Rechtshaffen
The Hollywood Reporter

The characters deserve a better movie, but they get a pretty good one.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

Reveals essential truthfulness about families.Full Review

Mick LaSalle
San Francisco Chronicle

Everyone is touched by sadness or hobbled by self-deception, and everyone is interesting, even moving, to watch until the drama slowly suffocates beneath the weight of its revelations.Full Review

Joe Morgenstern
Wall Street Journal

The film sways awkwardly back and forth between prickly humor and pathos, rarely ringing true in either register.Full Review
